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.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

(a) R_{c}=0.87ohms

(b) V_{T}=114.44V

Explanation:

Part (a)

The total length of copper cord L=86.3 m

The cross sectional area A=1.71×10⁻⁶m²

The resistivity of copper p=1.72×10⁻⁸Ω

Thus the resistance of extension cord is

R_{c}=p\frac{L}{A}\\R_{c}=(1.72*10^{-8} )\frac{86.3}{1.71*10^{-6}}\\R_{c}=0.87ohms

Part (b)

The resistance of trimmer Rt=17.9 ohms

When voltage of 120V is applied then the current I is passing through series circuit is

I=\frac{120V}{R_{c} +R_{T} }\\I=\frac{120V}{0.87 +17.9 } \\I=6.4A

Thus the voltage across the trimmer is:

V_{T}=IR_{T}\\V_{T}=(6.4)*(17.9)\\V_{T}=114.44V
