Question 1166381: An elevator with a mass of 1500 kg is supported by a wire cable.
a) what is the tension in the cable when the elevator is at rest? (14,700N, up)
b) someone in the elevator pushes a button and the elevator starts to move. if the tension in the cable is measured to be +13,950N, what will be the acceleration of the elevator (-0.5ms^2)
could u show me the approach,, thanks
