# A uniform rope of weight \( 30 \, \text{N} \) hangs from a hook. A box of mass \( 40 \, \text{kg} \) is suspended from the rope. What is the tension in the rope?

A uniform rope of weight \( 30 \, \text{N} \) hangs from a hook. A box of mass \( 40 \, \text{kg} \) is suspended from the rope. What is the tension in the rope?

- **A.** \(30 \, \text{N}\) throughout the rope
- **B.** \(400 \, \text{N}\) throughout the rope
- **C.** \(100 \, \text{N}\) throughout the rope
- **D.** \(340 \, \text{N}\) throughout the rope
- **E.** It varies from \(400 \, \text{N}\) at the bottom of the rope to \(430 \, \text{N}\) at the top
