Your group is studying the ecology of a rainforest in South America. To avoid walking on the rainforest floor, the team members walk along a rope walkway that the local inhabitants have strung from tree to tree. Your supervisor is concerned about the maximum amount of equipment each team member could carry to safely walk and still keep the walkway a suitable distance above the ground. If the walkway sags too much, the team member could be in danger, not to mention possibly damage to the rainforest floor. Each end of the rope supporting the walkway goes over a branch and then is attached to a large weight hanging down. You need to determine how the sag of the walkway is related to the mass of a team member plus equipment when they are at the center of the walkway between two trees. To check your calculation, you decide to model the situation using the equipment below.
