20percent of 200 W is 40 W i.e. only 40w per square metre power available . Total requirement is 8000W . Power per m^2 is 40 W . Area require 8000/40 i.e. 200 m^2

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.
