Newton's second law tells you: 

Sum of forces on an object = ma 

Here, the forces acting on the bundle are the tension in the string and the force of gravity, these two must combine to yield the acceleration of the bundle. 

So we have: 

T-mg = ma 

or T=m(g+a) 

We know m=8.7kg, we need to find a from the information 

starting from rest, an accelerating object covers distance according to: 

<span>dist = 1/2 at^2 </span>

to cover 1m in 1.8s, we have: 

a=2d/t^2 = 2x1/1.8^2 = 0.62 m/s/s 

Thus, the tension in the string is: 

<span>T = m(g+a)
=  8.7</span>kg(9.8m/s/s+0.62m/s/s) 
<span>
<span>T =  90.654 N
