Homework Help: physics

Posted by Dreskillz89 on Sunday, September 27, 2009 at 12:02pm.

A gymnast of mass 61.0 kg hangs from a vertical rope attached to the ceiling. You can ignore the weight of the rope and assume that the rope does not stretch.

How do I calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast hangs motionless on the rope?
Also, what if the gymnast climbs the rope at a constant rate. How would I calculate that?


Thanks in advance!
