25 gram mass is given an upward acceleration of 30 m/s^2 by a rope.
need help finding tension in the rope?
thank you
To find the tension in the rope, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force exerted on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. In this case, we are given the mass and the acceleration, so we can use the formula:
Force = mass × acceleration
First, let's convert the mass to kilograms (since the formula requires the mass to be in kilograms):
Mass = 25 grams = 25 grams ÷ 1000 = 0.025 kg
Now we can substitute the values into the formula:
Force = 0.025 kg × 30 m/s^2
Calculating this:
Force = 0.75 N
Therefore, the tension in the rope is 0.75 Newtons.
