Question
Your answer is partially correct.
A 57-kg woman holds a 5-kg package as she stands within an elevator which briefly accelerates upward at a rate of 0.21g. Determine
the force R which the elevator floor exerts on her feet and the lifting force L which she exerts on the package during the acceleration
interval. If the elevator support cables suddenly and completely fail, what values would R and L acquire?
5kg
0.21g
57kg
Answers:
While accelerating,
R =
i
127.73
N L=
i
10.3005
N
After the cables fail, R=
N
L =
N
