Answer: The elevator must be accelerating.
Explanation:
As the tension force is opposing to the the force of gravity on the load which is hung vertically, and the tension force can adopt any value in order to comply with Newton's 2nd law, if the tension force is less than the force due to gravity, this means that all system is not in equilibrium, so it must be accelerating.
If we assume that the downward is the positive direction, we can write:
mg - T = ma
If T = 0.9 mg, ⇒ mg (1-0.9) =0.1 mg = m a ⇒a = 0.1 g , in downward direction.
The power developed is 500 W ( to the nearest Watt)
Power(P) is the rate at which work is done. Work done (W) is the product of the force applied on the object and the displacement (s) made by the point of application of the force.


Therefore,

Substitute the given values of force , displacement and time


Thus the Power can be rounded off to the nearest value of 500 W
W = force * displacement
W = 32 pounds * 10 feet
Now you need to convert it to newton and meters
W = 142 N * 3.048 m = 434 J
(I approximated the conversions- I hope it helps)
Answer:
r = 9.92 mm
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of oil drop, 
It acquires 2 surplus electrons, q = +2e 
Potential difference, V = 620 V
Thie potential difference is applied between the pair of horizontal metal plates the drop is in equilibrium.
We need to find the distance between the plates.
At equilibrium,
mg = qE
Since, E = V/r (r is distance between plates)

So, the distance between the plates is 9.92 mm.
