What is the weight of a 50 kg load moving downward with an acceleration of 5m / s²?

Since the load is moving down, the ratio will be true:

ma = Fт – P.

P = Ft – ma, where P is the desired weight of the load (N), Ft is the gravity acting on the load (Ft = m * g, where m is the mass of the load (m = 50 kg), g is the acceleration of gravity (we take g = 10 m / s²)), a is the acceleration of the load (a = 5 m / s2).

Let’s calculate the weight of the load moving down:

P = Fт – ma = m * g – m * a = m * (g – a) = 50 * (10 – 5) = 50 * 5 = 250 N.

Answer: The weight of the load that moves down is 250 N.
