A 50kg chandelier hangs from a ceiling suspended by a cable.

The tension force has a magnitude of 490 N, and acts vertically upward

Explanation:

The complete question is:

A 50kg chandelier hangs from a ceiling suspended by a cable. What is the Tension (magnitude and direction of the force) in the cable?

ANS:

Tension is the force applied axially by rope, chain, cable, rod, etc, as a reaction force. The direction of tension is always towards the support. Since, the support here, is ceiling.

Therefore, the direction of tension force will be vertically upward.

Since the chandelier is hanging stationary, without any motion. Thus, there must not be any unbalanced force applied on it.

Hence, the tension force must be equal to the weight of chandelier.

Tension Force = Weight of Chandelier

T = W = mg

T = (50 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

T =   490 N

Thus, the tension force has a magnitude of 490 N, and acts vertically upward
