Is this question incorrect? (Newton Laws of motion)

[hidden monolith]

The answer given here is 48N but it is nowhere mentioned that the system is at rest, at the ground or is falling

But if we consider it to be on the ground it should be 40N

Find the acceleration of the system first the COM of rope lies at its midpoint so find force at that point accordingly

[hidden monolith]

Yeah but it isn't mentioned if the system is in motion on ground or fallin

If it was on ground thered be normal also

[dawn orchid]

It wouldn't matter since you are applying constant force upwards even if it's on ground it will instantly lift up(Edit: I am wrong the force downward is greater)

[cosmic quail]

I don't think it would lift up since the gravitational force is 100N down, so the net force is 20N down

[south geyser]

yeah, i don't it would lift up

[south geyser]

i'd say it doesn't show the ground so don't consider it

Oh ok
