A 59.0kg box hangs from a rope. What is the tension in the rope if The box is at rest?

Sum of the forces equals 0...

draw a free body diagram and see what forces are in play...like mg

 

[mugzieee]

the forces that are acting on the box are weight and tension of the rope. the only value i have is for the weight which is 59 kg.

Weight=mass*g.

You are right. There are only two forces. They add to zero.
