4200 N  is the tension in the cable that pulls the elevator upwards.

The correct option is A.

<h3>What does tension ?</h3>

Tension is the force that is sent through a rope, thread, or wire whenever two opposing forces pull on it. Along the whole length of the wire, the tensile stress pulls equally on all objects at the ends. Every physical object that comes into contact with that other one exerts force on it.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

We employ the following formula to determine the cable's tension.

Formula:

T = mg+ma............ Equation 1

Where:

T is the cable's tension.

M = Mass of the elevator and the Joey

Accelerating with a

g = Gravitational acceleration

Considering the query,

Given:

m = (300+60) = 360 kg

a = 2 m/s²

g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

T = (360×9.8)+(360×2)

T = 3528+720

T = 4248 N

T ≈ 4200 to the nearest hundred.

How much energy in Joules (J) would an electric heater that draws 9.5 A when connected to a 120 V supply use if the heater were
leonid [27]
<h2>Energy used by heater is 8.21 x 10⁶ J</h2>

Explanation:

Energy = Power x Time

Power = Voltage x Current

Voltage = 120 V

Current = 9.5 A

Power = Voltage x Current

Power = 120 x 9.5 = 1140 W

Time = 2 hours = 2 x 60 x 60 = 7200 s

Energy = Power x Time

Energy = 1140 x 7200

Energy = 8208000 J

Energy used by heater is 8.21 x 10⁶ J
