To calculate the force acting on the elevator due to gravity, you can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = m * a).
Given:
- Mass (m) of the elevator = 1000 kg
- Acceleration (a) downwards = 9.81 m/s²
Now, plug in the values:
\[ F = m \times a \]
\[ F = 1000 \, \text{kg} \times 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \]
\[ F = 9810 \, \text{N} \]
So, the force acting on the elevator is **9810 N**.
