When a 118 N bag of nails hangs motionless from a single vertical strand of rope, how much tension is exerted in the strand? Answer in units of N.





i always pick best answer so help me out please!When a 118 N bag of nails hangs motionless from a single vertical strand of rope, how much tension is exerted?
If the bag is hanging vertically from the rope, the tension in the single rope would be 118N.





If there are 8 strands of rope, all hanging vertically, the total tension would be 118N, with each rope contributing 118 / 8 = 14.75N.
