Dear Raju,

Tension at any point is balancing the weight of the rope below it.
The mass per unit length of the rope can be written as\lambda=\dfrac{m}{l}
Hence the mass of part of rope hanging uptil lengthhwill be\lambda h=\dfrac{m}{l}h

Hence the weight of that part will be\dfrac{m}{l}hg.

Or you could see it this way- The fraction of length the given part is of the whole rope, in the same fraction would be its mass.

Hence\dfrac{m'}{m}=\dfrac{h}{l}
\implies m'=m(\dfrac{h}{l})
