Explanation: the pressure exerted by a gas does not depend on the type of the gas because pressure is a physical force its has not chemical composition.

So, pressure depends upon the numbers of molecules of the gas because gas molecules collide with the wall of the vessel. They exert force on the wall and we know the pressure is force applied per unit area .

According to Gay - Lussac's law,  the temperature of the gas is direct proportional to the pressure  at a constant volume.

The pressure exerted by a gas depends on the number of gas particles present, according to the Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases. Other factors like volume of the particles or the intermolecular forces between molecules are assumed zero. So 50 particles of Helium gas exerts the same pressure of 50 particles of Oxygen gas.

An elevator cab and its load have a combined mass of 1600 kg. Find the tension in the supporting cable when the cab, originally
amid [387]

The tension in the supporting cable when the cab originally moves downward is 18422.4 N

What is tension?

Tension is described as the pulling force by the means of a three-dimensional object.

Tension might also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of said elements.

Here,

m =combined mass = 1600 kg

s = Displacement of the elevator = 42 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

u = Initial velocity = 12 m/s

v = Final velocity = 0

According to the equation of motion:

v^{2} - u^{2} = 2as

0 - 12^2 = 2*a*42

a = - 144 / 84

a = - 1.714 m/s^2

Now let's write the equation of the forces acting on the elevator. Taking upward as positive direction:

T-mg = ma

T = m(g-a)

T = 1600 ( 9.8-(-1.74))

T=18422.4 N

Hence,

The tension in the supporting cable when the cab, originally moving downward is 18422.4 N
