Final answer:
The tension in the rope is equal to the weight of the supported mass.
Step-by-step explanation:
The tension in the rope can be determined using Newton's second law. When the two weights are pulled upward with a constant speed, the tension in the wire must equal the weight of the supported mass. As there are two weights connected by a massless wire, the total weight is the sum of the weights. The tension in the rope, denoted by T, is equal to the weight of the supported mass, denoted by W.
T = W = m * g
Where m represents the mass and g represents the acceleration due to gravity.
In this case, the question does not provide the values for the masses. Therefore, specific values need to be given to calculate the tension.
