To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of equilibrium and Newton's second law.
According to the description given, it is under constant ascending acceleration, and the balance of the forces corresponding to the tension of the rope and the weight of the elevator must be equal to said acceleration. So
Here,
T = Tension
m = Mass
g = Gravitational Acceleration
a = Acceleration (upward)
Rearranging to find T,
Therefore the tension force in the cable is 10290.15N
Answer:
the vertical acceleration of the case is 1.46 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the clarinet case, m = 3.07 kg
upward force applied by the man, F = 25.60 N
Apply Newton's second law of motion;
the upward force on the clarinet case = its weight acting downwards + downward force due to its downward accelaration
F = mg + m(-a)
the acceleration is negative due to downward motion from the top of the piano.
F = mg - ma
ma = mg - F
Therefore, the vertical acceleration of the case is 1.46 m/s²
