Question

A 10 kg box hangs from a rope. What is the tension in the rope (in Newtons) if the box is stationary

Answer 1

T = 98 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravity of the earth is known to be 9.8 m/s²

Data:

• m = 10 kg
• g = 9.8 m/s²
• T = ?

Use formula:

• 
  `\boxed{\bold{T=m*g}}`

Replace and solve:

• 
  `\boxed{\bold{T=10\ kg*9.8(m)/(s^(2))}}`

• 
  `\boxed{\boxed{\bold{T=98\ N}}}`

The tension in the rope is 98 Newtons.
