Question

An elevator with a mass of 2,560 kg is pulled straight up by a cable such that it accelerates at 4.5 m/s 2 in the upward direction. Find the net force on the elevator.

Answer 1

11,520N

Step-by-step explanation

According to Newtons second law

Net force = mass * acceleration

Given

Mass = 2560kg

acceleration = 4.5m/s^2

Substitute the given values into the formula

F = 2560 * 4.5

F = 11,520N

Hence the net force on the elevator is 11,520N
