Answer:

150N

Step-by-step explanation:

According to newton's third law of motion, Action and reaction are equal and opposite, hence for an object that weighs 150N suspended by a wire, the tension on the wire is 150N

Ultimately the tension on a string or an object is equal to the mass times gravity(which is same as the weight of the object)
