The mass of a lift is 600kg. the. The maximum tensile force that the cable supporting the lift can withstand is 7kN. Calculate the: maximum upward acceleration.

And the force in the cable when the lift is moving at a constant velocity

Force is the product of mass and acceleration.

The question is ask to find acceleration.

But acceleration is the ratio of the force and the mass.

where 600kg is the mass and 7kN is the force

NB: kilo is 1000

now we have to multiply 7N by 1000

by doing so you will have 7000N

which is the force.

Now to find the acceleration: force / mass

which is 7000/600

therefore the maximum acceleration is 11.667
