Answer:
There is NO net force acting on the hanging weight. The net force is ZERO.
Explanation:
If the object (the weight) is NOT moving, and in static equilibrium hanging from the support, that means that the net force on it is ZERO. There are two forces acting, one is that due to gravity and the other one the tension of the string, Both of these forces must be equal in magnitude but pointing in different directions, so they cancel each other.
