CP A steel cable with cross-sectional area 3.00 cm2 has an elastic limit of 2.40 X 108 Pa. Find the maximum upward acceleration that can be given a 1200-kg elevator supported by the cable if the stress is not to exceed one-third of the elastic limit.
ANSWER:Solution 41E Step 1 of 2: F 1 8 8 A = 32.4 × 10 Pa) = 0.8 × 10 Pa F is the tension in the cable 8 F = A × 0.8 × 10 Pa 4 8 = 3 × 10 m × 0.8 × 10 Pa = 2.4 × 10 N
