The mass of a lift is 2000 ~kg . When the tension in the supporting cable is 28000 ~N , then its acceleration is
Options
- A30 ~ms ⁻² downwards
- B4 ~ms ⁻² upwards
- C4 ~ms ⁻² downwards
- D14 ~ms ⁻² upwards
Correct answer
B. 4 ~ms ⁻² upwards
Step-by-step solution
Key Idea Apparent weight > actual weight, then the lift is accelerating upward. Here, lift is accelerating upward at the rate of a Hence, equation of motion is written as gathered R - mg = ma 28000-20000=2000 a a = 8000 2000 =4 ~ms ⁻² upwards gathered
