Homework Statement


An object of 50kg mass is attached to a rope of 50m length with a hook. The rope is hooked at the other end to a fixed point on a helicopter.
The object is dropped from a height of 100m.
What will be the tension on rope?
No other parameters are available. What are the other parameters required to solve the problem and what are the equations to be used?

Thread 'Modeling a graph that shows age in relation to depth of an ice sample'

To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
