Answer:
The acceleration of the elevator machine is, a = 3 m/s²
Explanation:
Given data,
The mass on the one end, m = 5 kg
The mass on the other end, M = 10 kg
According to the Atwood's machine
Ma = Mg - T
ma = T - mg
Adding those equations,
a (M + m) = g ( M - m)
a = (M + m) / ( M - m)
Substituting the values,
a = (10 + 5) / (10 - 5)
= 3 m/s²
The acceleration of the elevator machine is, a = 3 m/s²
<span>The weight of the rock is 138n when accelerating downward at 3.5m/ s2.Weight is a measurement of the force of gravity on an objects mass. Therefore as long as the force of gravity is the same and the mass of the rock is the same the weight should also be the same.</span>
