Explanation:

When objects are suspended by a rope, the tension in the rope counteracts the force pulling down on it. The force pulling down is the weight of the objects (calculated as \(F = mg\), where \(m\) is mass and \(g\) is acceleration due to gravity). So, tension balances the total weight of the objects below.
