Answer from: njorda7211

The tension in the rope when gymnast climbs a rope with constant speed will be \boxed{588{\text{ N}}}.

Further explanation:

We have to calculate the tension in the rope when the gymnast climbs a rope with the constant speed.

Given:

We have given that,

The mass of the gymnast is $60{\text{ kg}}$ .

Formula and concept used:

Consider a body is moving with an acceleration in upward direction, then the direction of the inertia force will be in the opposite direction of the direction of the acceleration.

That is, the direction of the inertia force will be in the downward direction for the moving body.

Inertia force can be calculated as,

$\boxed{{F_I}=ma}$

Here, ${F_I}$ is the inertia force and is the acceleration.

So, the net downward force will be equal to the sum of the weight of the body and the inertia force.

$\boxed{F=W + {F_I}}$

Substitute the values of as and ${F_I}$ as in above equation.

$\boxed{F=mg + ma}$ …… (1)

Here, gymnast is climbing with the constant speed.

So, acceleration of the gymnast in upward direction will be zero.

Substitute for in equation (1).

So, the net downward force will be,

F = mg

This downward force will be balanced by the tension in the rope.

So, tension in the rope will be,

$\boxed{T = mg}$ …… (2)

Calculation:

Substitute the value $60{\text{ kg}}$ for and $9.8{\text{ }}{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\text{m}} {{{\text{s}}^2}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{{\text{s}}^2}}}$ for in equation (2).

$\begin{aligned}T&=60\times9.8\\&=588{\text{N}}\\\end{aligned}$

So, the tension in the rope will be $\boxed{588{\text{ N}}}$ .

Certain bacteria (such as aquaspirillum magnetotacticum) tend to swim toward the earth’s geographic north pole because they contain tiny particles, called magnetosomes, that are sensitive to a magnetic field. if a transmission line carrying 100 a is laid underwater, at what range of distances would the magnetic field from this line be great enough to interfere with the migration of these bacteria? (assume that a field less than 5% of the earth’s field would have little effect on the bacteria. take the earth’s field to be 5.0 * 10-5 t, and ignore the effects of the seawater.)
