An elevator (mass 4000 kg) is to be designed so that the maximum acceleration is 0.0500g. what is the maximum force the motor should exert on the supporting cable?

Respuesta :

The formula relating mass, force and acceleration is:

Force = mass * acceleration

Therefore to calculate the maximum force, simply multiply the two: (g = gravity = 9.8 m/s^2)

Force = 4000 kg * 0.0500 (9.8 m / s^2)

Force = 1960 Newton
