Answer: magnitude of applied force is FA = mg + F
Where F is the resultant force downward that the rope moves with
Explanation:
Force downwards F is,
F = FA - T
T is the upwards tension force on the rope
FA is the actual applied force in pulling the rope down.
Therefore, T = FA - F .....equ. (1)
For the box to move up with force ma ( it's mass times its acceleration upwards) upwards tension on the roap must exceed its own weight mg ( it's mass times acceleration due to gravity 9.8m/s^2)
Therefore, ma = T - mg
T = ma + mg ..... equ. (2)
Equating equ. 1 and 2
T = FA - F = ma + mg
Therefore FA = ma + mg + F
But at constant velocity a = 0
Magnitude of applied force becomes
FA = mg + F
