Explain why a long pole is more beneficial to the tight rope walker if the pole has slight bending.

Answer»
  • You must have noticed the circus artists doing rope walking. 
  • During this act, they carry a long bamboo pole in their hands. 
  • The reason for this is that the line joining the centre of gravity and centre of equilibrium must fall within the rope for achieving the stable equilibrium. 
  • Thus when an artist finds that he is falling towards left, he shifts bamboo pole towards right, so that his centre of gravity stay undisturbed. 
  • Thus he can balance himself on the rope.
