You have a mass of 60.0 kg and are you are standing in an elevatoron the ground floor of a tall building. The elevator suddenlyaccelerates downward at 1.50 m/s2. How much force does the floor ofthe elevator exert on your feet? (use g = 9.80 m/s2)

5.94 - Friction in an Elevator. You are riding in an elevator on the way to the 18th floor of your dormitory. The elevator is accelerating upward with a = 1.90 m/s2. Beside you is the box containing your new computer; the box and its contents have a total mass of 36,0 kg. While the elevator is accelerating upward, you push horizontally on the box to slide it at constant speed toward the elevator door. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the elevator floor is k = 0.32, what magni- tude of force must you apply?

(a) An elevator of mass m moving upward has two forces acting on it: the upward force of tension in the cable and the downward force due to gravity. When the elevator is accelerating upward, which is greater, T or w? (b) When the elevator is moving at a constant velocity upward, which is greater, T or w? (c) When the elevator is moving upward, but the acceleration is downward, which is greater, T or w? (d) Let the elevator have a mass of 1500 kg and an upward acceleration of 2.5 m/s2. Find T. Is your answer consistent with the answer to part (a)? (e) The elevator of part (d) now moves with a constant upward velocity of 10 m/s. Find T. Is your answer consistent with the answer to part (b)? (f) Having initially moved upward with a constant velocity, the elevator begins to accelerate downward at 1.50 m/s2. Find T. Is your answer consistent with the answer to part (c)?

You are moving into an apartment and take the elevator to the 6thfloor. Suppose your weight is 660 N and that of your belongings is1070 N. (a) Determine the work done by the elevator in lifting youand your belongings up to the 6th floor (15.2 m) at a constantvelocity. (b) How much work does the elevator do on you alone(without belongings) on the downward trip, which is also made at aconstant velocity?
