The tension in the cables are : a) 984 N when moving up,
b) 584 N when movng down
Given data:
mass = 80 kg
Acceleration = 2.5 m/s
Determine the tension in the cables
A) When moving up
Tension in the cable = m*g + m*a
= 80 * 9.8 + 80 * 2.5
= 984 N
B) When moving down
Tension in the cable = m*g - m*a
= 80 * 9.8 - 80 * 2.5
= 584 N
Hence we can conclude that the tension in the cable are 984 N moving up and 584 moving down.
