Problem

A shop sign of weight 30 N hangs motionless from a vertical cord. Which statement about the forces on the sign is correct? a) They are unbalanced because only the weight of 30 N30\,\text{N} acts downward and no upward force acts. b) They are balanced even though the net force is 30 N30\,\text{N} upward. c) They are balanced because the tension in the cord is 30 N30\,\text{N} upward. d) They are unbalanced because the tension must be greater than the weight to keep the sign from falling.
