Answer:
There is no mechanical advantage
Explanation:
The mechanical advantage is possible only when the force needed to lift a load is lesser than the weight of the load.
For example, is we have a mechanical advantage of 2, the force needed to lift will be 1/2 of the weight of the load, and if we have a mechanical advantage of 4, the force needed will be 1/4 of the weight of the load.
In the attached image there are clear examples of mechanical advantage with pulleys.
Answer:
Explanation:
The equation for this, since we are talking about weight on an elevator, is Newton's 2nd Law adjusted to fit our needs:
where the Normal Force needed to lift that elevator car is the tension. So the equation then becomes
T = ma + w where T is the tension in the cable to lift the elevator, m is the mass of the elevator (which we have to solve for), a is the acceleration of the elevator (positive since it's going up), and w is the weight of the elevator (which we have as 5500 N). Solving first for mass:
w = mg and
5500 =- m(10) so
m = 550 kg. Now we have what we need to solve for the tension:
T = 550(4.0) + 5500 and
T = 2200 + 5500 so
T = 7700 N
