Description: |
A mass is hung with a string and another string is dangling
from the bottom. If you pull on the bottom string slowly, the top string
will break. However, if you pull on the bottom string, the bottom string
quickly, the bottom string will break. This is due to the force not overcoming
the inertia of the mass.
