a small angle θ as shown in position 2 the
acceleration increases (F stays the same).

Using principles of physics, explain why this is

the case.

Using principles of physics, explain why this is

the case.

ACCORDING TO NEWTON'S SECOND LAW ACCELERATION IS

DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE NET FORCE AND

INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO THE MASS

BY LIFTING THE ROPE THE FORCE f IN POSITION 2 HAS

A VERTICAL COMPONENT WHICH BALANCES A PORTION OF

Fg LEAVING FN AND THEREFORE Ff REDUCED

AS THE HORIZONTAL COMPONENT OF F HAS

CHANGED VERY LITTLE FROM POSITION 1 TO

POSITION 2 FNET AND THEREFORE ACCELERATION

HAVE BEEN INCREASED
