Answer:
a) Before the elevator starts to move = 862.4 N
b) During the first 0.80 s of the elevator 's ascent = 994.4 N
c) While the elevator is traveling at constant speed = 862.4 N
d) During the elevator's negative acceleration = 786.98 N
Explanation:
a) a= 0
From Newton's second law => N - mg = 0
N = mg
= 88 x 9.8
= 862.4 N
b)
a = ΔU/Δt = 1.2/0.80 = 1.5 ms⁻²
by newton law of motion which implies N - mg = ma
N = m(g + a) = 88(9.8 + 1.5)
= 88 (11.3)
= 994.4 N
c)
For constant speed, a = 0
N = mg
= 88 x 9.8
= 862.4 N
d)
a = ΔV/Δt = 1.2 / 1.4 = 0.857 ms⁻²
mg - N = ma
N = m(g - a)
= 88(9.8 - 0.857)
= 88 (8.943)
= 786.98 N
