A 500 kg empty elevator moves with a downwards acceleration of 2 m/s2. What is the tension force of the cable on the elevator? 5000 N 4000 N 6000 N 1000 N

T = 4000 N

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of an elevator, m = 500 kg

It is moving downward with an acceleration of . It is required to find the  tension force of the cable on the elevator. We know that when the elevator is moving downward, the net force on it is given by :

g is acceleration due to gravity

So, the tension force of the cable on the elevator is 4000 N.

the answer would most likely be c, because if it's a comical piece of information, it may likely not be true, if it's a site that allows anybody to edit the content, it could mean a five year old is typing the info, and if it's a tv show produced by a celeb, it may have a biased opinion.
