You are investigating an elevator accident which happened in a tall building. An elevator in this building is attached to a stro

ng cable which runs over a pulley attached to a steel support in the roof. The other end of the cable is attached to a block of metal called a counterweight which hangs freely. An electric motor on the side of the elevator drives the elevator up or down by exerting a force on the side of the elevator shaft. You suspect that when the elevator was fully loaded, there was too large a force on the motor . A fully loaded elevator at maximum capacity weighs 2400 lbs. The counterweight weighs 1000 lbs. The elevator always starts from rest at its maximum acceleration of g/4 whether it is going up or down.A. What force does the wall of the elevator shaft exert on the motor if the elevator starts from rest and goes up?B. What force does the wall of the elevator shaft exert on the motor if the elevator starts from rest and goes down?C. What should be the design limit for the replacement motor? Assume a 20% margin above the maximum load expected.

Answer:

a) F = 2250 Ib

b) F = 550 Ib

c) new max force ( F newmax ) = 2850 Ib

Explanation:

A) The force the wall of the elevator shaft exert on the motor if the elevator starts from rest and goes up

max capacity  of elevator = 24000 Ibs

counterweight = 1000 Ibs

To calculate the force (F) :

we first calculate the Tension using this relationship

Counterweight (1000) - T =  ( 1000 / g ) ( g/4 )

Hence T = 750 Ib

next determine F

750 + F - 2400 = 2400 / 4

hence F = 2250 Ib

B ) calculate Tension first

T - 1000 = ( 1000/g ) ( g/4)

T = 1250 Ib

F = 2400 -1250 - 2400/ 4

F = 550 Ib

C ) determine design limit

Max = 2400 * 1.2 = 2880 Ib

750 + new force - 2880 = 2880 / 4

new max force ( F newmax ) = 2850 Ib

liubo4ka [24]

ANSWER:

d. remains a non-zero constant.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

If we consider that there is no air resistance and that the horizontal component would be at x, the velocity remains a non-zero constant

A positive charge, q1, of 5 µC is 3 × 10–2 m west of a positive charge, q2, of 2 µC. What is the magnitude and direction of the
belka [17]
We know, F = 1/4πε * q₁q₂ / r²
Here, q₁ = 5 * 10⁻⁶ C
q₂ = 2 * 10⁻⁶ C
r = 3 * 10⁻² m west

Substitute their values, 
F = (9 * 10⁹) (5 * 10⁻⁶) (2 * 10⁻⁶)  / (3 * 10⁻²)²

F = 100 N  [ East of positive charge ]

Hope this helps!

What would happen to the moon if earth stopped exerting the force of gravity on it?
Mila [183]
There are two equal forces of gravity between the Earth and the Moon.
One force pulls the Moon toward the Earth.
The other force pulls the Earth toward the Moon.

If only this gravity suddenly switched off, then the moon would
continue to orbit the Sun, very much as it does now.

If ALL gravity suddenly switched off, then . . .

-- the Moon would stop orbiting the Earth and would sail away, in
a straight line and at the speed it had when gravity disappeared;

-- the Earth would stop orbiting the Sun and would sail away, in
a straight line and at the speed it had when gravity disappeared;

-- all the gases surrounding the Earth ... which we call "air" ... would
start drifting away, and expanding into a giant cloud of gas, and stop
being an atmosphere;

-- the Sun would completely fall apart, expand into a giant cloud of gas,
and stop being a star.
