An empty elevator has a mass of 722 kg. It moves between floors at a maximum speed of 6.00 m/s. The elevator is stopped on the 2
0th floor of the building when someone pushes the call button in the lobby (the first floor). Assuming that it takes 15.25 meters for the elevator to reach its maximum speed, and assuming constant acceleration, calculate the tension in the cable as the elevator car begins to descend (during the period of constant acceleration). Take the acceleration due to gravity to be 9.81 m/s2. Show your work.
The difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker is that a fuse is a one time circuit element while a circuit breaker is a multiple use device. If you were designing a circuit for a reading lamp, you should include a circuit breaker so you don't have to replace it every time.
