Physics major at IIT-J researching in theoretical particle physics.

We have 3 "physical" dimensions. The 4th dimension we consider in relativity is time, which constitutes the understanding of the spacetime continuum. There is also a branch of cosmology that believe gravity to be the 5th dimension.

An elevator weighs 3000kg. What is its acceleration when the in the tension supporting cable is 33000N. Given that g = 9.8m/s2.
M = 3000 kg g = 9.8 m/s² T = 33000 a = ? Ma = Mg - T 3000 * a = 3000 * 9.8 - 33000 3000a = 29400 - 33000 3000a = - 3600 a = - 1.2 m/s².
