A vertical rope \(A B\) has its end \(B\) attached to the top of a scale pan. The scale pan has mass 0.5 kg and carries a brick of mass 1.5 kg , as shown in Figure 1. The scale pan is raised vertically upwards with constant acceleration \(0.5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\) using the rope \(A B\). The rope is modelled as a light inextensible string.
- Find the tension in the rope \(A B\).
- Find the magnitude of the force exerted on the scale pan by the brick.
