**Scale Reading in Accelerating Elevator:**The 10.0 kg mass is on a scale, and the 8.00 kg mass hangs from the other end of the string over the pulley as illustrated, and the system is in an elevator on Earth. (Pulley & string massless, frictionless.) (See PSL 5.2,5)**a) If zero acceleration: what is the scale reading in Newtons? Explain.****b) Now the elevator and the entire mass and pulley system accelerate together. The reading on the scale is now 9.80 N. Based on this, what do you think is the direction of acceleration? (Gut feeling.)***Note:* Since everything accelerates together in the same direction, make this your positive direction for all objects.**c) Draw FBDs for both the 10 kg and the 8 kg masses (for the accelerating system).****d) Use N2L to determine the (i) string tension and (ii) acceleration of the system. Does the direction of the acceleration agree with your answer earlier?****Diagram Explanation:**The diagram depicts an elevator with a pulley system. The pulley supports a string, with a 10 kg mass on a scale at one end, and an 8 kg mass hanging at the other end. The elevator is shown as a rectangular box containing these elements.- The 10 kg mass is directly on the scale.- The 8 kg mass hangs freely, creating tension in the string as it passes over the pulley.This setup is used to analyze forces and acceleration within the system as the elevator moves.
