Question

A 1000 kg elevator is accelerated upward at a rate of 0.70 m/s2. What is the tension in the cable pulling the elevator upward when it experiences this acceleration?

Answer 1

Answer:

Tension is also known as Force...

and Force is mass× acceleration.

so....1000×0.70=700N

Answer 2

Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{\mathrm{700 \ N}}$

Explanation:

Tension is the force exerted.

$\sf Force \ (N) = mass \ (kg) \cdot acceleration \ (m/s^2)$

$F=1000 \cdot 0.70$

$F=700$

The tension in the cable is 700 N.
