Question

11. A rope pulls a 5.2-kg block upward with a constant acceleration of5.0 meters per second squared. The tension in the rope is(a) 26N(b) 51 N(c) 63 N(d) 77 N

Answer 1

(a) 26N

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the tension is equal to the mass times the acceleration, therefore:

`\begin{gathered} T=m\cdot a \\ T=5.2\cdot5 \\ T=26\text{ N} \end{gathered}`

The tension is 26 Newton
