If a box weighing 200 newtons is hanging from the ceiling, it means that the box is suspended from above by a rope or cable. The weight of the box is pulling downwards due to gravity, and the rope or cable is supporting the box and exerting an equal force in the opposite direction.
This situation can be represented by the force equation:
Force of tension in the rope/cable = Weight of the box
So in this case, the force of tension in the rope or cable is also 200 newtons because it needs to balance the weight of the box.
