An 80-kg person stands at rest on a scale while pulling vertically downwards on a rope that is above them. use g = 9.80 m/s2. with what magnitude force must the tension in the rope by pulling on the person so that the scale reads 500 n?

1284 N

Explanation:

m = Mass of person = 80 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = -9.81 m/s² (negative as the elevator is going up)

Tension

The acceleration that the tension should provide is 16.05 m/s²

From Newton's Second Law

Magnitude force must the tension in the rope by pulling on the person is 1284 N

explanation:

a fuel engine ( known as a gasoline engine in american english )is an internal combustion engine with spark ignition, designed to run on petrol (gasoline) and similar volatile fuels.

explanation:

newton's third law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
