Accepted Answer

The tension in the rope is 64.8N. The tension is a transmitted force of an action-reaction pair of forces.The International System of Units (SI) uses newtons to measure tension as a transmitted force, an action-reaction pair of forces, or a restoring force (or pounds-force in Imperial units).Applying the formula for tension in rope is:T = m(g+a)mass of object = 6kgacceleration due to gravity = gacceleration of object = 1m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]Plugging in the values we get:T = m(g+a)T = 6(9.8+1)T = 6(10.8)T = 64.8NTherefore,  the tension in the rope is 64.8N.Learn more about tension in the rope here:https://brainly.com/question/28046418#SPJ4
