Perfect Tension |
Here's a problem. I was wondering if anyone had its solution.
Say you had a perfect rope. At no point in it's length is it weaker than
another point. Each end is attached to a force opposing the other (like to
tractors driving in opposite directions.) The attachments are as strong as
any point in the rope. The force is larger than the tension point of the
rope.
In other words, the rope will break.
At what point in the rope's length will it break?

At the attachment points, not the attachments but the rope at the
attachments where it goes round or bends.
rope has about 1/2 the strength via knot or attachment.
I used "uniform rope", not "perfect rope" because that cannot be defined.

Some guy (claiming to be you) posted this last week.

Try this: In the middle, at its fundamental frequency's antinode
maximum.
