How much tension must a cable withstand if it is used to accelerate a 1200-kg car vertically upward at 0.70 m/s²?

Answer 1

Hello! Tension, T = 12600 N. Mass of the car, m = 1200 kg

Acceleration of the car vertically upwards,

As the car is moving vertically upwards. So,

T - mg = ma

T = m(a+g)

T = 12600 N

So, the tension in the cable is 12600 N.
