In a physics lab, students take a long piece of string and cut it into two unequal pieces. One piece is used to suspend a large weight. The second piece is tied to the bottom of the weight as seen in the diagram below. Student 1 predicts that the upper string will always break first since it has to support the weight and the applied force, while Student 2 disagrees and predicts that the shorter piece of string will always break first if you pull slowly but with enough force to exceed the strength of the string.
(a) Which aspect(s) of Student 1’s reasoning, if any, are correct? Explain your answer.
(b) Which aspect(s) of Student 2’s reasoning, if any, are correct? Explain your answer.
(c) Which aspect(s) of both Student 1’s and 2’s reasoning, if any, are incorrect? Explain your answer.
(d) The experiment is performed and both students are surprised to learn that whether
the upper or lower string breaks first depends on whether you pull slowly or with a
sudden pull. Resolve the two lines of reasoning of Student 1 and Student 2 by
explaining the results of the experiment in a clear, concise paragraph.
