Grr!  My phone seems to like to send blank emails. Sorry about that!

 

Ok.  I weigh about 200 pounds.  So if I'm hanging on the end of a rope, I'm
putting about 200 pounds of force on that rope.  But what happens if I fall
3 feet, and the rope stops my fall?  How much force did I just put on that
rope?  Assuming a static rope with negligible stretch.
