Question

If a 70 kg man is lowering a 20 kg mass with an acceleration 2 m/s2 the reading on the machine is:

  1. 54 kg    
  2. 64 kg    
  3. 66 kg    
  4. 70 kg    

The correct answer is: 54 kg



    F equals W minus T
    T equals W minus F
    equals 20 cross times 10 minus 20 cross times 2 equals 160 N
    R equals W minus T
    equals 700 minus 160 equals 540 N equals 54 k g
