Homework Statement
The Attempt at a Solution
Hey everyone, so I've answered this question and it equals too half her weight. W=2T, but i just want to intuitively understand it better because it still confuses me. Why is the force exerted only half if its usually the whole weight required? is it because she's holding the rope? Also I've read that people say its because there's two tension forces on both sides, but wouldn't that be the case if it was just another regular force pulling down? Thank you
