Chapter 5.7, Problem 5.9CE
For all three situations, find the magnitude and direction of the tension force(s) exerted on Rochelle. If not enough information is given, say so. Explain your answers.
- a. Rochelle and Buddy pull on opposite ends of rope. The tension force exerted on Buddy is 15 N and is directed toward Rochelle.
- b. Now, one end of the rope is tied to a sturdy pole and Rochelle pulls on the other end. The tension force on the pole is 15 N directed toward Rochelle.
- c. Finally, Rochelle holds one rope in her left hand, and the other end of that rope is pulled by Joe. She holds another rope in her right hand, and the other end of that rope is pulled by Buddy. Both Buddy and Joe experience a 15-N force directed toward Rochelle.
