Asked by C.W

A crane lifts a 500 kg steel beam. It uses an upward force of 6000 N. Gravity pulls down with 5000 N. Find the net force and the beam&#39;s acceleration.</p><p></p>(1 point)

The net force is 1000 N downward, resulting in an acceleration of 2 m/s².

The net force is 11000 N upward, resulting in an acceleration of 22 m/s².

The net force is 1000 N upward, resulting in an acceleration of 2 m/s².

The net force is 1000 N upward, resulting in an acceleration of 12 m/s².

Net force = 6000 N (up) − 5000 N (down) = 1000 N upward.
Acceleration = Fnet / m = 1000 N / 500 kg = 2.0 m/s² upward.

Answer: The net force is 1000 N upward, resulting in an acceleration of 2 m/s².
