A package with mass 300 kg is lifted vertically upwards. Find the tension in the cable which lifts the package, when the package,

a) accelerates upwards at 0.1 \displaystyle \text{m}{{\text{s}}^{-2}},

b) accelerates downwards at 0.2 \displaystyle \text{m}{{\text{s}}^{-2}},

c) travels upwards with a retardation of 0.1 \displaystyle \text{m}{{\text{s}}^{-2}}.
