Answer:
10880N
Explanation:
We are given that
Mass of elevator, m=850 kg
Acceleration, [tex]a=3m/s^2[/tex]
[tex]g=9.8m/s^2[/tex]
We have to find the tension in the cable.
We know that
When elevator is accelerating upward then tension in the cable
[tex]T=m(a+g)[/tex]
Using the formula
[tex]T=850(3+9.8)[/tex]
[tex]T=10880N[/tex]
