Question

The solution to this question won't load, so I can't doubleanything. Q: A lamp hangs vertically from a cord in a descendingelevator that decelerates at 2.4 m/s^2. a) If the tension in the cord is 89 N, what's the lampsmass? b) What's the cords tension when the elevator ascends with anupward acceleration of 2.4 m/s^2?

Explanation / Answer

Given that the tension in the cord T = 89 N a) When elevator accelerate downward the tension in the cordis                T = m ( g - a)                89 = m ( 9.8 - 2.4)      ==> m = 12.027 kg b) When elevator accelerates upward the tension in the cordis                T = m ( g + a)                   = 12.027 ( 9.8 + 2.4)                   = 146.72 N
