Answer:
2*(100-X)
Step-by-step explanation:
Total length = 100 ft
Total weight =200 pounds
Assuming that the rope has an uniformly distributed weight, its weight per feet is:
[tex]W_f = \frac{200}{100} =2\ lbs/ft[/tex]
If "x" feet have already been lifted, the length left to be lifted is 100 - x.
Therefore, the weight of the remainder of the rope is:
[tex]W=2*(100-X)[/tex]
