Reading comprehension people!
I'm going with B. Just 'cause.
air friction on the cable is not negligible.

Yeah, but the question specifically says that air friction on the cable is not negligible.View attachment 236007
I agree, but from the wording I am using a strict interpretation. I agree, there would will be some wind, some wind resistance some aerodynamic load... For those who fly I am an amateur physicist, not an aeronautical engineer! Even worse I only spent the night once in a Holiday Inn Express, and that was a few years ago...
I wondered about changing the wording. I decided to keep it in its purest form and to use word for word. Obviously, the physics teacher used a negative, (not), with an almost-zero which can be construed as a negative in the context it is used. I actually think they are taught to write that way on tests in order to put a fishook in your mouth.Yeah, but the question specifically says that air friction on the cable is not negligible.
No friction?
A
Ohh not negligible. Stupid double negative. Who wrote this question. Probably teaches race theory nowThis is just like the hammer and the feather falling at the same gravitational rate in a vacuum.
If there’s no friction or drag then it’s just a constant force on all mass copter or cable
A physics prof who’s trying to make sure that you’re paying attention to the details, because details matter in physics.Who wrote this question.
Drat, however then it is C. This is why I never went into physics and mathematics and despise story problems. Going to paint an L on my forehead and go out for a walk, hopefully I can get the L facing the right direction.Yeah, but the question specifically says that air friction on the cable is not negligible.
