A 9 -slug mass hangs by a rope from the ceiling. Using the standard value of gravitational acceleration g = 32.2 fts 2, what is the tension in the rope?

For the Mass to hang without falling

It simply means that the Tension that supports the weight force has to be Equal to or greater than it.

T=W

T= mg

m= 9 slugs

g=32.2ft/s².

T= 9 x 32.2

T= 289.8 slug.ft/s².

Or in normal units

1 Slug = 14.59Kg

1ft = 0.3048m

m= 9 slugs = 131.345kg

g =32.2ft/s² = 9.8m/s²

T= 9.8 x 131.345

T= 1,287.18N.
