The reading of the balance if ,
I ) If the elevator is moving with a steady speed = 50 N
II ) If the elevator is moving upwards with acceleration of 0.2 m / s² = 51 N
T = m g + m a
T = Force
m = Mass
g = Acceleration due to gravity
a = Acceleration
m = 5 kg
g = 10 m / s²
I ) If the elevator is moving with a steady speed,
At steady speed, a = 0
T = ( 5 * 10 ) + ( 5 * 0 )
T = 50 N
II ) If the elevator is moving upwards with acceleration of 0.2 m / s²,
a = 0.2 m / s²
T = ( 5 * 10 ) + ( 5 * 0.2 )
T = 50 + 1
T = 51 N
Therefore, the reading of the balance if ,
I ) If the elevator is moving with a steady speed = 50 N
II ) If the elevator is moving upwards with acceleration of 0.2 m / s² = 51 N
