An elevator cab and its load have a combined mass of 1600 kg. With a supporting cable, the cab is originally moving downward at 12 m/s, but then brought to rest with constant acceleration in a distance of 42 m. What are the directions of the following forces acting on the elevator cab-load system? Choose from the following directions: (north, south) Tension in the supporting cable: Blank 1 gravitational force: Blank 2 Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the elevator cab-load system. Use g = 9.8 m/s^2. Fg = Blank 3 N Calculate the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the system. a = Blank 4 m/s^2 What is the direction of this acceleration? (north or south)? answer: Blank 5 Since the direction of acceleration is opposite that of the direction of the initial velocity, the system is "slowing down" or "speeding up"? answer: Blank 6 solve for ΣF = Blank 7 N What is the magnitude of the tension force along the supporting cable? tension Blank 8 N
