Explanation:
A concave meniscus,(normally seen) occurs when the molecules of the liquid are attracted to those of the container. This occurs with water and a glass tube. A convex meniscus occurs when the molecules have a stronger attraction to each other than to the container, as with mercury and glass.
Answer:
T = 17649.03 N = 17.65 KN
Explanation:
The tension in the cable must be equal to the apparent weight of the passenger. For upward acceleration:

where,
T = Tension in cable = ?
= Apparent weight
m = mass = 1603 kg
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
a = acceleration of elevator = 1.2 m/s²
Therefore,

<u>T = 17649.03 N = 17.65 KN</u>
M/s^2 is the correct answer
