Harry the painter swings year after year from his bosun's chair. His weight is 500  N and the rope, unknown to him, has a breaking point of 300  N. Why doesn't the rope break when he is supported as shown below? One day, Harry was painting near a flagpole, and, for a change, he tied the free end of the rope to the flagpole instead of to his chair, as shown to the right. Why did Harry end up taking his vacation early? | Numerade
