Please enter your answer

since it is Non inertial frame so will have to apply pseudo force in opposite direction Reading of the weighing scale = Mg - Ma = M(g - a) = 50 ( 10 - 9) = 50 N Note:- the unit of acceleration is incorrect it should be m/sec2

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.
