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.

Mg - T = Ma 3000 * 9.8 - 33000 = 3000* a 29400 - 33000 = 3000 * a -3600/3000 = a a = - 1.2 m/s2

Given, Weight, M = 3000kg Tension, T = 33000N g = 9.8m/s^2 a= ? We have, Mg - T = Ma ie, (3000*9.8) - 33000 = 3000 * a a = ((3000*9.8) - 33000)/3000 = -1.2m/s^2 therefore the elevator is moving up with an acceleration of 1.2m/s^2

33000-3000*9.8=3000*a 33000-29400=3000*a 3600/3000=a

33000-g.3000 = a.3000 With usual meaning of symbols. a negative means movement is downward & vice versa.

Equate F (net) = ma Then T - mg = ma (assume all vectors in + Y direction as positive) 33000 - 3000 X 9.8 = 3000 a a = 1.2 m/s² This essentially means that the net force on the elevator is making it move up with an acceleration of 1.2 m/s² See my lecture notes for...

The Earth moving round the Sun in a circular orbit is acted upon by a force, and hence
work must be done on the Earth by this force. Do you agree with this statement?
The force on earth jn circular trajectory is gravity,acting radially inward...the direction of motion is tangential.....as u knw work is dot product of force and dx, the work done is zero.

Why does a swimmer push the water backwards?
According to newton's 3rd law of motion in each and every action there is an equal and opposite force. So if he push the water backwards then according to the above principle or law he will be able to move forward.
