A 10 kg10~\text{kg} object hangs from a vertical rope at rest. Using g10 m/s2g \approx 10~\text{m/s}^2, the rope tension is

  • A

    100 N100~\text{N}

    check_circle
  • B

    00

  • C

    10 N10~\text{N}

  • D

    50 N50~\text{N}

Explanation

For equilibrium, T=mg=(10)(10)=100 NT = m g = (10)(10) = 100~\text{N}.
