Answer:
Wmoon = 131 [N]
Explanation:
We know that the weight of a body is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.
Since we are told that the gravitational acceleration of the moon is equal to one-sixth of the acceleration of Earth's gravitation. Then we must multiply the value of Earth's gravitation by one-sixth.
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of equilibrium and Newton's second law.
According to the description given, it is under constant ascending acceleration, and the balance of the forces corresponding to the tension of the rope and the weight of the elevator must be equal to said acceleration. So
Here,
T = Tension
m = Mass
g = Gravitational Acceleration
a = Acceleration (upward)
Rearranging to find T,
Therefore the tension force in the cable is 10290.15N
