A person of mass 60 kg is inside a lift of mass 940 kg and presses the button on control panel. The lift starts moving upwards with an acceleration 1.0 m/s2. If g = 10 m/s2, the tension in the supporting cable is

a
9680 N
b
11000 N
c
1200 N
d
8600 N

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Total mass = Mass of lift + Mass of person                   =940+ 60= 1000kg                   T- mg= maHence, Z- 1000 x l0 =1000 x IT = 11000N
