full solution
In an elevator ascending, an occupant drops a coin, which accelerates at a different rate than expected. This reveals the elevator's own acceleration towards the Earth. By analyzing forces and tensions, we determine the cable's tension to be 16000 N.
Terminal Voltage Calculation for Battery with Resistors
