A lift of weight W is lifted by a rope with an acceleration f. If the area of cross-section of the rope is A, the stress in the rope is

A $$\frac{{{\text{W}}\left( {1 + \frac{{\text{f}}}{{\text{g}}}} \right)}}{{\text{A}}}$$
B $$\frac{{\left( {1 - \frac{{\text{g}}}{{\text{f}}}} \right)}}{{\text{A}}}$$
C $$\frac{{{\text{W}}\left( {2 + \frac{{\text{f}}}{{\text{g}}}} \right)}}{{\text{A}}}$$
D $$\frac{{{\text{W}}\left( {2 + \frac{{\text{g}}}{{\text{f}}}} \right)}}{{\text{A}}}$$

Correct Answer: $$\frac{{{\text{W}}\left( {1 + \frac{{\text{f}}}{{\text{g}}}} \right)}}{{\text{A}}}$$
