Jul 26, 2020 · They simply cannot move at constant velocity relative to one another once the rope becomes taut, because past that point the rope would have tension that exerts a force on each runner, causing each of them to (rapidly) decelerate, and probably fall down.

The pulling force that acts along a stretched flexible connector, such as a rope or cable, is called tension, \(T\.) When a rope supports the weight of an object that is at rest, the tension in the rope is equal to the weight of the object: \[ T = mg. \]

The bowline knot creates a non-moving loop at the end of a length of rope, which makes it ideal to secure something to an anchor of some sort. It can also be used to secure a rope around an object (or a person). It’s a super easy knot, too—create a loop, push one end of the rope through the loop, wrap it around the other end of the rope and push it...
A hitch is a knot that connects a length of rope to another rope or attaches it to an object. (Many knots are combinations of hitches.) A taut line hitch creates an adjustable knot that can be lengthened or shortened as needed. One is commonly used to attach a tent to stakes, for example, because you can attach the loop and then tighten as needed. ...
A square knot is one of the first knots most people learn because it’s simple and has a fundamental use: It joins two lengths of rope together. If you have two short pieces of rope that are about the same size and texture, you can use a square knot to create one piece of longer rope, which is incrediblyuseful. It’s not the strongest knot, so you ca...
A square knot joins two similar ropes, but if you have two short ropes of different diameters or made from different materials, a sheet bend is a better choice for joining them together (it also works with similar ropes, so you can skip the square knot if you want, though the sheet bend is a little more complex). Start with the rope that’s either t...
Used to tie a rope to any sort of cylindrical object (like a tree, or metal ring), this is a useful knot because it’s easy to make and pretty strong. It’s basically a loop-de-loop: Wrap the line around your anchor, pull the end through the loop created, then loop the end around one more time and pull through—that sucker’s not going anywhere. It’s v...
The trucker’s hitch is a marvel of knot magic because of the mechanical advantage it confers on you—basically, it amplifies the force you apply to tightening the rope, typically by a factor of 2-to-1 or even 3-to-1. What that means is this pulley-like knot will lock something down much more tightly than you would be able to manage with a different ...
The barrel hitch is a great knot to know because it forms a quick and easy bucket of sorts, and can be used to lift things. So, for example, if you’re working on your roof and you need to lift a bucket that lacks a handle, you can tie off a barrel hitch. First, lay the rope on the ground and place your container on top of it. Tie a simple overhand ...
The sheepshank has one important and often overlooked purpose: It makes your rope shorter without cutting it. Start by folding your rope into a backward “S” shape, like two loops going in different directions. Create a loop on the upper free end, push the folded end through it, and tighten slightly. Repeat this on bottom end. Tighten (making sure t...
The clove hitch is a super easy knot—you can quickly learn to tie it one-handed, which is why it’s a knot every climber in the world knows how to tie. But it’s most useful as a lashing, binding things together—if you were on a deserted island, you might use the clove hitch to create a raft out of a bunch of sticks. In your dry, safe house, you’ll p...
If you need to secure two sticks or poles together in a cross configuration, a square lash is your huckleberry. First, use a clove hitch (well, any hitch will do) to secure your rope to the vertical pole. Twist the short end of your rope around the longer end and twist it around until you have no more left. Taking the twisted ends, wrap the rope ov...

Aug 1, 2021 · When a rope made up of multiple fibers is taut, those fibers all share equal portions of the load. However, the bending and compression where the knot forces the rope to curve (usually around itself, or around the thing it is tied to) create extra tension in only some of the fibers.
