Textbook Question

Chapter 5, Problem 87P

An object is hung from a spring balance attached to the ceiling of an elevator cab. The balance reads 65 N when the cab is standing still. What is the reading when the cab is moving upward (a) with a constant speed of 7.6 m/s and (b) with a speed of 7.6 m/s while decelerating at a rate of 2.4 m/s²?

... T An object with mass m is hanging from a wire attached to the ceiling of an elevator. The elevator is moving downward and its speed is increasing at rate of a = 5 m/s?. Which one of the following statements is true? (A) T=mg B T=mg-a T=m(g+a) D T=m(g-a)

While an elevator of mass 930 kg moves downward, the tension in the supporting cable is a constant 7730 N. Between t = 0 and t = 4.00 s, the elevator’s displacement is 5.00 m downward. What is the elevator’s speed at t = 4.00 s?

The suspended 2.41 kg mass on the right is moving up , the 2.1 kg mass slides down the ramp and is on an inclined 34 degrees from the horizontal, and the suspended 7.8 kg mass on the left is moving down. There is friction between the block and the ramp, the coefficient of static friction is 0.17. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. The pulleys are massless and frictionless. What is the acceleration of the three block system?
