A box of mass sits on the floor of an elevator. The area of the bottom surface of the box is 0.250 m2. When the elevator is moving upward at a constant speed of 2.00 m/s the pressure the box exerts on the floor is 981 pascal. (Note: One Pascal equals one Newton per square meter; 1 Pa = 1 N/m2). Calculate the pressure the box exerts on the floor while the elevator a. slows uniformly from an upward speed of 2.00 m/s to zero in 3.00 seconds. b. accelerates uniformly from rest to a downward speed of 2.00 m/s in 3.00 seconds. c. slows uniformly from a downward speed of 2.00 m/s to zero in 3.00 seconds. d. is moving downward at a constant speed of 2.00 m/s e. accelerates uniformly from rest to an upward speed of 2.00 m/s in 3.00 seconds f. is at rest.

A box of mass M sits on the floor of an elevator at rest. Gravity (which has a strength set by the local acceleration due to gravity g) pulls the box and the floor pushes the box. The net or total force on the box is zero. What is the force on the box from the floor? Give both the magnitude and the direction. Now imagine that the elevator is accelerating upwards at acceleration a. Now the two forces on...

1) a. There is an elevator on the 102th floor of the Empire State Building with a sign: MAXIMUM WEIGHT 2900 LBS. During refurbishment, the cable was being replaced. A section of the new cable is cut up and tested for its breaking strength. The cable was tested 20 times and the average breaking point of the sample was found to be 3100 LBS with a standard deviation of 280 LBS. Construct an appropriate hypothesis test that determines whether the...
