We have the tension force in the rope, FT (also symbolized merely by T), which is
upward, and the weight, Fw, which is downward. Calling up the positive direction,
the net force is FT − Fw. The second law, Fnet = ma, becomes FT − Fw = ma, so
FT = Fw + ma = mg + ma = m(g + a) = 6(10 + 1) = 66 N- A can of paint with a mass of 6 kg hangs from a rope. If the can
is to be pulled up to a rooftop with a constant velocity of 1 m/s,
