An elevator and its load have a combined mass of 1200 kg. find the tension in the supporting cable when the elevator, originally moving downward at 10 m/s, is brought to rest with constant acceleration in a distance of 62 m. (hint: if the elevator is slowing down and moving down then the upward force is greater)

12739.74 N

Explanation:

m = Mass of load + Mass of elevator = 1200 kg

s = Displacement of the elevator = 62 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

u = Initial velocity = 10 m/s

v = Final velocity = 0

Equation of motion

Tension on the cable

Here, as the elevator is going down the acceleration due to gravity and the acceleration will be subtracted.

Hence,  the tension in the supporting cable is 12739.74 N

explanation: magnetic pole, region at each end of a magnet where the external magnetic field is strongest. the south-seeking pole, or any pole similar to it, is called a south magnetic pole. unlike poles of different magnets attract each other; like poles repel each other.

the second one and the forth one are in the purple because they are opinions and the rest are in the yellow
