Question 33

In this question use g=9.8g = 9.8g=9.8 m s−2^{-2}−2

A particle of mass 2 kg hangs at rest relative to a lift, attached to the ceiling of the lift by a light inextensible string.

a.

Find the tension in the string when the lift is moving upwards with constant velocity.

[2]
b.

Find the tension in the string when the lift is moving upwards and decelerating at 2 m s−2^{-2}−2.
