Data:
u=0 m/s is the initial velocity of the plane
v=62 m/s is the final velocity of the plane (at which the plane takes off)
a=1.7 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the plane
To find the minimum distance S the plane needs to take off, we can use the following equation:

Re-arranging it and substituting the numbers, we find

Answer:
T=+1.133N
Explanation:
Tension and weight are forces that have opposite directions
Weight is negative (downward)
W=m*g= 0.11kg*(-9.8m/s^2)
W= -1.078N
Tension is possitive (upward)
The total force will be the sum of both (the difference taking in consideration the direction)
Ft= T+W
Also the total force is the product of the mass due to acceleration:
Ft=m*a
Ft= +0.11kg*0.5m/s^2
Ft=+0.055N (upward)
Tension will be the difference between Ft and W:
T= Ft-W
T=+0.055N-(-1.078N)
T=+1.133N
The simplest way to do this is to set up equivalent fractions, like this-

=

Solve for x by using cross multiplication.
40*2.2= 88
1*x=88
x=88
Therefore, the boy weighs 88lbs.
