First, we will get the mass of the elevator:
Fw = mass * gravitational acceleration
2 * 10^5 = mass * 9.8
mass = 20.4 * 10^3 kg

Now, the total force acting on the elevator can be written as follows:
Fnet = Tension - Fw
mass * acceleration = Tension - 2*10^5
20.4 * 10^3 * 3 = Tension - 2*10^5
61200 = Tension - 2*10^5
Tension = (61200) + (2*10^5)
Tension = 2.61 * 10^5 newton

A Carnot engine absorbs 1, 3 MJ of heat at 427 degree C and exhausts heat to a reservoir at 90 degree C. How much work does it d
Alex17521 [72]
<span>Carnot cycle efficiency = work done/heat supplied = (Th - Tc)/Th where, Th is temperature of hot reservoir and Tc is temperature of cold reservoir. we have given the values as Heat supplied = 1.3 MJ or 1300 KJ, Th = 427 degree C and Tc = 90 degree C. converting degree Celsius to kelvin temperatures, Th = 427 + 273 = 700 K Tc = 90 +273 = 363 solving equations, (700 - 363)/700 = work done / 1300 work done = 625.86 KJ i.e. 0.626 MJ work is done .</span>
