Question 19

During a performance, a cable raises a lighting rig vertically at constant speed. The cable exerts an upward force of 2800 N. The lamps attached to the rig have a total mass of 70 kg. The gravitational field strength is 10 N kg−110\ \mathrm{N\,kg^{-1}}10 Nkg−1. What is the weight of the lighting rig without the lamps?
