A 900 kg elevator hangs by a steel cable for which the allowable stress is 1.15×108N/m2. What is the minimum diameter required if the elevator accelerates upward at 1.5 m/s2? Take g = 10 m/s2

a
6×10-2m5π
b
6×10-210πm
c
3×10-210πm
d
3×10-25πm

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Stress =force/area                                                                           1.15×108  = 900(10+a)(πd24)⇒  d = 610πcm = 0.0610πm = 6×10-210πm
