T=Mg+Ma
T=60000,M=4800,g=10,a=?
let input our values
60000=4800×10+4800a
collect like terms
60000-48000=4800a
12000=4800a
divide both side by the coefficient of a
12000/4800=4800a/4800
a=2.5

USE this formula.
T=m(g+a)....if it's moving upwards.
T=m(g-a)....if it's moving downwards.

T=60000N
m=4800
g=10
a= ??

NOW SOLVE😒😗😹

A is correct

T=mg+ma
note: it's positive when it's accelerating upward and it's negative when it's accelerating downward
