Answer:
F = 768 N
Explanation:
It is given that,
Speed of the elevator, v = 3.2 m/s
Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min,
We need to find the magnitude of force needed to keep the car moving constant speed. The relation between the momentum and the force is given by :
Since, the speed is constant,
F = 768 N
So, the magnitude of force need to keep the car is 768 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
