Abstract

We analyse the one-dimensional motion of a uniform thin fibre which is pulled upwards from a horizontal plane by a constant vertical force exerted against the homogeneous gravitational field. The solution of the equation of motion which describes this variable mass problem is discussed and the character of the resulting damped oscillations is described.
