The mass of a lift is 2000 kg. When the tension in the supporting cable is 28000 N, its acceleration is:
The mass of a lift is 2000 kg. When the tension in the supporting cable is 28000 N, its acceleration is: Correct Answer 4 ms<sup>−2</sup> upwards
The correct answer is option 1) i.e. 4 ms−2 upwards.
CONCEPT:
- The weight associated with a moving lift (W), tension force on the supporting cable (T), and acceleration (a) of the lift can be categorized into 2 cases:
Important Points
- The positive value of acceleration confirms that our assumption was correct i.e. lift is moving up with an acceleration 'a'
- If the acceleration obtained was negative, it indicates that the assumption is wrong i.e. lift is moving downwards with the acceleration 'a'.
