I assume the rope is pulling the box.a) There is no pulling force acting on the box, so T = 0b) Since the motion is uniform and frictionless, there is still no force acting on the box, so again T = 0c) There is a pulling force which causes the acceleration. According to Newton’s law T = ma = 54.0 x 4.20 = 227 N... Show More
