Solve Tension Problem: 1000kg Mass at 1m/s^2

[Big-J]

Homework Statement

Tension on the rope to pull a 1000kg mass up at 1m/s^2

Homework Equations

F=ma

The Attempt at a Solution

I'm not sure. It's either
A. T=ma
T=1000(1)=1000 N

or
B. T-mg=ma
T-(1000)(10)=(1000)(1)
T=11000N

Thanks.

What is Newton's 2nd law telling you?

 

[Big-J]

That the acceleration of an object is directly related to force and inversely related to mass. Basically F=ma I guess.

directly related to what force?

 

[Big-J]

Net force. I think it's option B that I did in my first post.
