Answer» 488 When lifts moving UPWARDS w (G+ a) = 608...(1) When lifts moving downwards m (g-a) = 368...(2) From EQUATIONS (1) and (2), `(m(g + a))/( m(g-a)) =608/368` ` (g+a)/(g-a)=38/23` `implies 23g +23a = 38g-38a` `implies I5g = 61A` `therefore a =(15g)/61=(15xx10)/61=2.4ms^(-2)` From equation (1) m (g + a) = 608 `implies` m (10+ 2.4) = 608 `implies` m (12.4) = 608 `m=608/12.4=49.03` Normal weight, `mg = 49.03 xx 10 = 490.3 kg`. |
