Solution
The correct option is C Tension and Gravitational force
The forces acting on a freely suspended block are as follows:
1. Gravitational force: The force of gravity is pulling the block in the downward direction.
2. Tension: It is a force that is transmitted through
a rope, string or wire when pulled by forces acting from opposite sides. In the given figure, tension is acting on the block in the direction opposite to the gravitational force.
