True or False: When two unequal and opposite forces act on a body, the body may move in the direction of the weaker force. A 500.0 kg block is suspended by a rope in an elevator that is descending at 2.0 m/s^2. What is the tension in the rope? True or False: An external force is defined as a force generated outside the system of interest that acts on an object inside the system.
