Answer:
360 N
Explanation:
m = 30kg u = 2 m/s a = -2m/s/s
Since the object has an initial velocity of 2 m/s and acceleration of -2 m/s/s
the object will come to rest in 1 second but the force applied in that one second can be calculated by:
F = ma
F = 30 * -2
F = -60 N (the negative sign tells us that the force is acting downwards)
Now, calculating the force applied on the box due to gravity
letting g = -10m/s/s
F = ma
F = 30 * -10
F = -300 N (the negative sign tells us that the force is acting downwards)
Now, calculating the total downward force:
-300 + (-60) = -360 N
<em></em>
<em>Hence, a downward force of 360 N is being applied on the box and since the box did not disconnect from the rope, the rope applied the same amount of force in the opposite direction</em>
Therefore tension on the force = <u>360 N</u>
