<span>Since forces are vector quantities, we must indicate direction using positive and negative values. East will be assigned positive and west will be negative. Friction will act as a negative force since it impedes action. To calculate the net force we sum the vector quantities, as follows. Net force equals 50n which is derived by the following calculation: 300n-220n-30n.</span>
Answer:
10.23m/s^2
Explanation:
GIven data
mass of elevator = 2125 kg
Force= 21,750 N
Required
The maximum acceleration upward
F= ma
a= F/m
a=21,750/2125
a= 10.23m/s^2
Hence the acceleration is 10.23m/s^2
