A lift has mass 800 kg. It is moving upwards and has an accerleration
of -0.1 ms-2. The lift is supported by a single cable.
What is the tension in the cable?
I get T = -7760 N (I'm taking up as negative), just checking what anybody else gets
F = ma
T + mg = -(-0.1)m
T = 800(0.1 - 9.8) = -7760 N
of -0.1 ms-2. The lift is supported by a single cable.
