Question

A block hangs in elevator moving upward and decelerating at 3 m/s² (mass = 2 kg, g = 10 m/s²). Tension is:
  1. A
    14 N
    Correct
  2. B
    20 N
  3. C
    26 N
  4. D
    6 N

Correct answer

14 N

Explanation

Elevator decelerating upward = acceleration downward at 3 m/s². Apparent weight = m(g−a) = 2(10−3) = 14 N.
