A lift of mass 1000 kg which is moving with acceleration of 1 m/s2 in upward direction, then the tension developed in string which is connected to lift is
- 9800 N
- 10,800 N
- 11,000 N
- 10,000 N
Answer
(2) 10,800 N
Solution
For the lift accelerating upward: T - mg = ma
T = m(g + a)
= 1000(9.8 + 1)
= 10800 N
Answer: (2)
