25 gram mass is given an upward acceleration of 30 m/s^2 by a rope.
need help finding tension in the rope?
not sure how to set up the problem??
Tension is the reaction force. Clearly you have two forces in opposite directions.
Let T be the tension in the rope. The net force acting is T - W, where
W = M g is the weight.
Newton's Second Law says
T - Mg = Ma
which can be rewritten
T = M (g + a), where
a is the acceleration. Solve for T
