There's no "control" they all differ. If they were all exactly the same size shape and material it would be doable.
Answer:
Part a)

Part b)

Part c)

Part d)
from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s
so the reading of the scale will be same as that of weight of the block
Then its speed will reduce to zero in next 3.2 s
from t = 4.9 to t = 8.1 s
The reading of the scale will be less than the actual mass
Explanation:
Part a)
When elevator is ascending with constant speed then we will have



So it will read same as that of the mass

Part b)
When elevator is decending with constant speed then we will have



So it will read same as that of the mass

Part c)
When elevator is ascending with constant speed 39 m/s and acceleration 10 m/s/s then we will have



Reading is given as



Part d)
Here the speed of the elevator is constant initially
from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s
so the reading of the scale will be same as that of weight of the block
Then its speed will reduce to zero in next 3.2 s
from t = 4.9 to t = 8.1 s
The reading of the scale will be less than the actual mass
Answer:
The acceleration is 10 m/s²
Explanation:
The question seeks to show the relationship between force, mass and acceleration. Hence, the formula to be used here is that of force which is shown below
F = ma
where F is the force (800 N)
m is the mass (80 kg)
a is the acceleration (unknown)
From the formula above (Force = mass multiplied by acceleration)
800 N = 80 kg × a
a = 800 ÷ 80
a = 10 m/s²
Nichrome is usually used as the rod to heat water using electricity. It is an example of Nickel and belongs to the element Nickel in the periodic table.
