Answer:
F = 312 N
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of a crate, m = 40 kg
Acceleration of the crate, a = 2 m/s²
As the carte is falling downward, the net force exerted by the rope on the carte is given by :
F = m(g-a)
Put all the values,
F = 40(9.8-2)
F = 312 N
Hence, the required force exerted by the rope on the crate is equal to 312 N.
