Question

A 140 kg load is attached to a crane, which moves the load vertically. Calculate thetension in the cable for the following case:The load accelerates downward at a rate 0.4 m/s^2?

Answer 1

We will have that the tension will be:

`T=(140kg)(0.4m/s^2)\Rightarrow T=56N`

So, the tension will be 56 Newtons.
