Consider a person standing on a scale in an elevator. If the elevator accelerates upwards with an acceleration of 1.27 m/s2 and the person has a mass of 79.2 kg, what would the scale read? HINT: you need to take into account the acceleration due to gravity, as well as that of the elevator.
In the figures, the masses are hung from an elevator ceiling. Assume the velocity of the elevator is constant. Find the tensions in the ropes (in N) for each case. Note that 0₁ = 36.0°, 0₂ = 54.0°, 03 = 60.0°, m₁ = 6.00 kg, and m₂ = 9.00 kg. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.)
