A lift starting from rest with a constant upward acceleration moves 1.5 m in 004 s. If a person standing
in the lift holds a packet of 2 kg by a string, then the tension in the string due to motion is  

[UP CPMT 2013] 

a
5.89 N
b
57.1 N
c
67.1 N
d
None of these

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Given, u = 0, s = 1.5 m, t = 0.4 sFrom second equation of motion,   s=ut+12at2⇒  1.5=0+12a(0.4)2⇒  a=1.5×2(0.4)2=18.75 ms-2As the string is moving upwards with this acceleration∴T=m(g+a)=2(9.8+18.75)=57.1 N
