I'm not saying you don't know this or anything, it turns out many have not been able to answer this type of question in previous years, according to the chief examiner.
Ok, so there is a system where a load hangs by a wire or a rope, anything that can have tension.
The wire is moving upwards/accelerating.
The mass of the object is given, and you have to calculate the tension.
REMEMBER THIS:
The tension in the wire is always = Weight of the load + (mass of load × acceleration)
People got confused and included only the w or the ma.
IF it is moving at constant velocity, the acceleration = 0 and only in this case the tension is equal to the weight of the body.
