Question

A 1000 kg load is being moved by a crane. Find the tension in the cable that supports the load as it accelerates upward at 2 m/s² (g = 10 m/s²).
Options
A 12,000 N
Correct Answer
B 10,000 N
C 8,000 N
D 6,000 N
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

T - mg = ma → T = m(g + a) = 1000 × (10 + 2) = 12,000 N.

Hint

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