A 40-kg crate is being lowered with a downward acceleration is 2.0 m/s2 by means of a rope. (a) What is the magnitude of the force exerted by the rope on the crate

F = 312 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a crate, m = 40 kg

Acceleration of the crate, a = 2 m/s²

As the carte is falling downward, the net force exerted by the rope on the carte is given by :

F = m(g-a)

Put all the values,

F = 40(9.8-2)

F = 312 N

Hence, the required force exerted by the rope on the crate is equal to 312 N.
