12739.74 N
Explanation:
m = Mass of load + Mass of elevator = 1200 kg
s = Displacement of the elevator = 62 m
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
u = Initial velocity = 10 m/s
v = Final velocity = 0
Equation of motion
Tension on the cable
Here, as the elevator is going down the acceleration due to gravity and the acceleration will be subtracted.
Hence, the tension in the supporting cable is 12739.74 N
