Find the tension in an elevator cable if the 1000-kg elevator is ascending with an acceleration of 1.2 m/s²,upward. A) 11,000 N B) 9800 N C) 8600 N D) 1200 N

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tension in the cable can be found using the formula T = m(g + a), where m is the mass (1000 kg), g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²), and a is the upward acceleration (1.2 m/s²). T = 1000 * (9.8 + 1.2) = 11,000 N.
