An elevator and its load have a combined mass o 1600kg. Find the tension in the supporting cable when the elevator, originally moving downward at 12 m/s, is brought to rest with constant acceleration in a distance of 42 m.

An elevator cab and its load has a combined mass of 1600 kg. Find the tension in the supporting cable when the cab, originally moving downward at 12 m/s, is brought to rest with constant acceleration.

An engineer is designing a spring to be placed at the bottom of an elevator shaft. If the elevator cable should happen to break when the elevator is at a height h above the top of the spring, calculate the value that the spring constant k should have so that passangers undergo an acceleration of no more than 5.0G when brought to rest. Let M be the total mass of the elevator and passengers.
