Question

A 1000 kg load is being moved by a crane. Find the tension in the cable that supports the load as it is accelerating upward at 2 m/s² (acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²).
Options
A 9100 N
B 8900 N
C 12,000 N
Correct Answer
D 8000 N
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

T - mg = ma → T = m(g + a) = 1000 × (10 + 2) = 1000 × 12 = 12000 N.

Hint

T = m(g + a) for upward acceleration.
