SUMMARY
The tension in the rope is determined to be 280N based on the application of Newton's second law, F=ma. To solve for this tension, one must utilize standard methods such as drawing a free body diagram and analyzing the forces acting on the system. Key steps include identifying the components of the system and writing equations that represent the balance of horizontal and vertical forces, as well as torques about a chosen axis.
