an elevator with a mass if 500 kg is caused to accelerate upward at 4.0 m/s squared by a force in the cable what is the force exerted by the cable?
Added by Vanessa T.
Step 1
The weight (W) can be calculated using the formula W = m * g, where m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, g is approximately 9.8 m/s². So, W = 500 kg * 9.8 m/s² = 4900 N. Show more…

A cable lowers a 900 kg elevator so that the elevator's speed increases from zero to 4.0 m/s in a vertical distance of 5.7 m .Part A What is the force that the cable exerts on the elevator while lowering it? (Assume that the system is the elevator and Earth.) What is the force that the cable exerts on the elevator while lowering it? (Assume that the system is the elevator only.)
