The mass of a lift is 500 kg. What will be the tension in its cable when it is going up with an acceleration of 2.0 `m//s^(2)` ? (Take, g = 9.8 `m//s^(2)`)

A

5000 N

B

5600 N

C

5900 N

D

6200 N

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Tension in the cable when lift moves up with an acceleration a,
T = m(g + a)
`= 500 xx (9.8 + 2)" "["given, a" = 2 m//s^(2)]`
`= 500 xx 11.8`
= 5900 N
