Timmy is performing an experiment where he weighs himself in a moving elevator. If Timmy's mass is 56 kg and the elevator is accelerating upwards at -1.05 m/s^2, what is the magnitude of the normal force of the elevator acting on Timmy?
Homework Answers
using F = ma along upward direction,
N - mg = ma
N - 56x9.81 = 56 x (-1.05)
N = 490.56 N

A single mass (m1 = 4.4 kg) hangs from a spring in a motionless elevator.
A single mass (m1 = 4.4 kg) hangs from a spring in a motionless elevator. The spring constant is k = 270 N/m. 1) What is the distance the spring is stretched from its unstretched length? 2) Now, three masses (m1 = 4.4 kg, m2 = 13.2 kg and m3 = 8.8) hang from three identical springs in a motionless elevator. The springs all have the same spring constant given above. What is the magnitude of the force the bottom spring exerts on the...
