Question

A chandelier hangs from a ceiling rope. The weight of the chandelier is 100 N downward. What must be the tension force in the rope for the chandelier to remain in equilibrium?

पर्याय

• 50 N upward

• 100 N downward

• 100 N upward

• 200 N upward

Answer 1

100 N upward

Explanation:

For equilibrium, upward and downward forces must be equal. If weight = 100 N down, tension must be 100 N up, so T = mg and net force = 0.
