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

Answer:

T = 98 N

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:

• $\boxed{\bold{T=10\ kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}$

• $\boxed{\boxed{\bold{T=98\ N}}}$

The tension in the rope is 98 Newtons.
