When 175 Newton bag of nails hangs motionless from a single vertical strand of rope?

How much tension is exerted in the strand?When 175 Newton bag of nails hangs motionless from a single vertical strand of rope?
10 Newton's = 1 kg, so you're talking about 17.5 kg of mass hanging off the rope.When 175 Newton bag of nails hangs motionless from a single vertical strand of rope?
175 N (Newton's Third Law)


If the tension was lower the bag would accelerate downwards.


If the tension was higher the bag would accelerate upwards.
