Answer:

 W = 1960 N

T = 1960 N     in the upward direction

Explanation:

Let's apply Newton's second law to this exercise with acceleration equal to zero, translational equilibrium

Weight is

            W = m g

            W = 200 9.8

            W = 1960 N

In the attachment we can see a diagram

             T -W = 0

             T = W

             T = 1960 N

in the upward direction
