A lift of mass $1000 \mathrm{~kg}$ which is moving with an acceleration of $1 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$ in the upward direction, then the tension developed in the string which is connected to lift is:
  1. 9800 N
  2. 10,800 N
  3. 11000 N
  4. 10,000 N

Solution

Using the equation $\begin{aligned} & T=m(g+a)=1000(9.8+1) \\ & =10800 \mathrm{~N} \end{aligned}$
