You are going up an elevator to reach the top of the
Stratosphere casino in Las Vegas. The elevator has a mass of 900
kg. It initially starts accelerates, while moving upwards with an
initial velocity of 10 m/s until it comes to rest at a height of 40
m. You have a mass of 50 kg.
a) Draw two FBD one of the elevator and one of you in the elevator.
[4 points]
b) Determine the Tension force of the cable on the elevator. [6
points]
c) Determine the magnitude of the normal force you feel from the
elevator [2 points]
d) Is the normal force the same as your weight? Why or why not
