Step 1
The weight is the mass times the acceleration due to gravity, so it's 10 kg * 10 m/s² = 100 N. The sign is in equilibrium, which means the forces acting on it are balanced. Show more…

In order to raise a mass of $100 \mathrm{~kg}$ a man of mass $60 \mathrm{~kg}$ fastens a rope to it and passes the rope over a smooth pulley. He climbs the rope with acceleration $5 \mathrm{~g} / 4$ relative to the rope (sec Fig. 7.317). The tension in the rope is (take $g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ ). a. $1432 \mathrm{~N}$ b. $928 \mathrm{~N}$ c. $1219 \mathrm{~N}$ d. $642 \mathrm{~N}$
