Question

Woman weighing 75 kg stand on a spring scale in an elevator. During the first 3 seconds of motion
from rest, the Tension T in the hoisting cable is 8,300N. The total mass of the elevator, woman and
scale is 750 kg.

a. Find the vertical acceleration of the elevator.
b. Find the Reading R of the scale in Newton’s during this interval.
c. Find the upward velocity of the elevator at the end of 3 seconds.

 

Given Figure:
Elevator
75kg
T
Hoisting cable
Scale
=a=ay=?
750kg = total mass of the elevator, woman and scale
Transcribed Image Text:Given Figure: Elevator 75kg T Hoisting cable Scale =a=ay=? 750kg = total mass of the elevator, woman and scale
