Do not see picture but to accelerate mass up in elevator
Force up - mg = m a
so
F = m (g+a)
An elevator car has two equal masses attached to the ceiling as shown. (Assume m = 4.10 kg.)
(a) The elevator ascends with an acceleration of magnitude 1.00 m/s2. What are the tensions in the two strings? (Enter your answers in N.)
T1 = ___N
T2 =___N
(b) The maximum tension the strings can withstand is 93.9 N. What is the maximum acceleration of the elevator so that a string does not break? (Enter the magnitude in m/s2.)
___m/s2
