Tension in the cord?
An elevator starts from rest with a constant acceleration upward and moves 1m in 1.8s
A passenger in the elevator is holding a 9.7kg bundle at the end of a vertical cord
Acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s squared
What is the tension in the cord as the elevator accelerates? answer in units of N
so i calculated the acceleration to be .55555m/s squared upward
and the downward acceleration is 9.8m/s squared
and the mass is 9.7 kg
so where do i go from here
