Answer: T is greater

Explanation:

Since the elevator is moving against gravity more work will be done on the rope

T= m(g+a)

Answer:

T is greater when the elevator is accelerating upwards.

Explanation:

The tension in the cable is given by the formula

T = m(g+a)

Taking upwards as positive, when the elevator is accelerating upwards a is positive and and g+a is greater than g

So the tension is greater than the weight mg.

But when the elevator is accelerating downwards the, the acceleration a is negative and g +a in the equation above is less than g and as a result the Tension force T is less than the weight w.

What happens to the coefficient of friction when the weight is increased? Why is this?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Usually the coefficient of friction remains unchanged

Explanation:

The coefficient of friction should in the majority of cases, remain constant no matter what your normal force is. When you apply a greater normal force, the frictional force increases, and your coefficient of friction stays the same. Here's another way to think about it: because the force of friction is equal to the normal force times the coefficient of friction, friction is increased when normal force is increased.

Plus, the coefficient of friction is a property of the materials being "rubbed", and this property usually does not depend on the normal force.
