An elevator weighing 2.00 x 105 N is supported by a steel cable. What is the tension in the cable when the elevator is accelerated upward at a rate of 3.00 m/s2? (g = 9.81 m/s2)
for this equation i think i may have found the answer but i am really not sure. I do not know if there is an equation for tension. Here is what i thought:
Weight = mass x acceleration
mass = weight in N divided by gravity
2 x 10(to the fifth) / 9.81 m/s
= 20387.4 x 3
=61162.1N
Also what i don't understand is if their is an equation specifically designed for Tension
