Kyle used a chain to drag a crate across a rough floor. The chain makes a 45 degree angle above the horizontal, and then its tension is T. If the crate's mass is 15 kg and feels a frictional drag force of 50 N, and is accelerating horizontally at 0.5 m/s^2, what is the value of Tension, T? (A) 27.5N B) 37.5 N 81.3 N D 95.3 N
