newtonian mechanics - Force required to lift a block




Let us consider block of mass $m$ hanging by rope with force $T$. When no other horizontal and vertical forces are acting on a block, the block is at equilibrium if $$T=mg.$$ And if the rope is pulled up a distance $h$, $$\text{work done}=mgh$$


Don't we need more force to move the block upward? If we just use $T$, the body will be in equilibrium. Don't we need more force to lift the block?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
