Homework Statement
An object is at rest and stays at rest, but a rope attached to it is pulling with increasing force. What is the acceleration?
Homework Equations
F=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
The solution is that acceleration is constant and 0. Obviously a= dv/dt =0, since the object is at rest.
But if force is increasing, since F=ma, isn't acceleration increasing as well?
This is probably a stupid question, but I'm confused
