At 560 metric tons, the Airbus A-380 is the world’s largest commercialairliner. What’s the upward force on an A-380 when the plane is (a) flying at constant altitudeand (b) accelerating upward at 1.1 m/s2?
You are designing a high-speed elevator for a new skyscraper. The elevator will have a mass limit of 2400 kg (including passengers). For passenger comfort, you choose the maximum ascent speed to be 18.0 m/s, the maximum descent speed to be 10.0 m/s, and the maximum acceleration magnitude to be 5.00 m/s2. Ignore friction.
What is the maximum upward force that the supporting cables exert on the elevator car?
You walk into an elevator, step onto a scale, and push the "down" button to go directly from the tenth floor to the first floor. You also recall that your normal weight is w = 615 N.
If the elevator has an initial acceleration of magnitude 2.45 m/s2, what does the scale read?
