Answer:
The acceleration of the elevator is 1.8 m/s².
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of elevator = 625 kg
Tension = 7250 N
We need to calculate the acceleration
Using equation of balance
[tex]T-mg=ma[/tex]
Where, T = tension
m = mass
a = acceleration
Put the value into the formula
[tex]7250-625\times9.8=625\times a[/tex]
[tex]a=\dfrac{7250-625\times9.8}{625}[/tex]
[tex]a=1.8\ m/s^2[/tex]
Hence, The acceleration of the elevator is 1.8 m/s².
