Here's how it works:
* Gravity: The force of gravity pulls the light fixture downwards.
* Tension: The cord holding the light fixture is under tension. This tension force acts upwards, directly opposing the force of gravity.
* Equilibrium: When the tension force in the cord is equal and opposite to the force of gravity, the light fixture remains stationary.
In simpler terms: The cord acts like a strong, invisible hand pulling upwards on the light fixture, keeping it from falling due to gravity.
