A rope of mass 5 kg is in vertical position. A force of 150 N is applied upward at upper end and a 70 N force downward at its lower end. The tension in the rope at its mid-point is
When given, one upward force and one downward force on a string of some mass, then Just nd the average of the two forces for finding the tension at midpoint In this case, T = (150+70)/2 T= 110 N
