When a liftman takes 5 persons in a lift, the totla mass of the lilft and the 5 persons becomes 800 kg. What is the tension in the supporting cable, if the lift ascends with an acceleration of `2m//s^(2)`? `(g=10m//s^(2)`

A

8000N

B

8400N

C

9000N

D

9600N

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Tension = Apparent weight
`=m(g+a)= 800(10+2) = 9600N`
