Question

A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using "45-N testline". In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of 45N without breaking. (a) What is the weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulledup vertically when the line is reeled in (a) at a constant speedand (b) with an acceleration whose magnitude is 2.0 m/s 2 A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using "45-N testline".

Explanation / Answer

Part A)

45 = mg

m = 45/9.8 = 4.59 kg

Part B

T - mg = ma

45 - m(9.8) = m(2)

m = 3.81 kg
