A 57-kg woman holds a 7-kg package as she stands within an elevator which briefly accelerates upward at a rate of 0.17g. Determine the force R which the elevator floor exerts on her feet and the lifting forceL which she exerts on the package during the acceleration interval. If the elevator support cables suddenly and completely fail, what values would R and L acquire? 7kg 0.17g 57kg Answers: While accelerating, R= i N L= i N After the cables fail, R= i N L= i N

Question
A 57-kg woman holds a 7-kg package as she stands within an elevator which briefly accelerates upward at a rate of 0.17g. Determine
the force R which the elevator floor exerts on her feet and the lifting forceL which she exerts on the package during the acceleration
interval. If the elevator support cables suddenly and completely fail, what values would R and L acquire?
7kg
0.17g
57kg
Answers:
While accelerating, R= i
N L= i
N
After the cables fail, R= i
N L= i
N
