A rope lifting or pulling a load undergoes tension. The mass of the load and other factors determine the force. The Gravity always acts in the down direction, other forces may not. Enter Mass in Kg and Acceleration in m/s2 in the online rope tension calculator to calculate tension in a wire rope. Find the product of both (Mass, Acceleration) and (Mass, Gravity) then add both the answers to get the value of tension of wire rope holding a load.
Find the tension in the rope if the mass is 500Kg and the acceleration is 10m/s2?
Rope Tension = ( 500 x 10 ) + ( 500 x 9.8 )
= 9900Newtons
