alleryFor a hanging mass, which condition corresponds to zero acceleration?
A$T > mg$
B$T < mg$
C$T = mg$
D$T = 0$
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. $T = mg$
Zero acceleration means net force is zero.
For a hanging mass, that happens when upward tension balances downward weight, so $T = mg$.
**Hence option C.**
