An elevator car has two equal masses attached to the ceiling as shown. (Assume m = 3.30 kg.) (a) The elevator ascends with an acceleration of magnitude 1.20 m/s2. What are the tensions in the two strings? (Enter your answers in N.) T1 = N T2 = N (b) The maximum tension the strings can withstand is 77.7 N. What is the maximum acceleration of the elevator so that a string does not break? (Enter the magnitude in m/s2.) m/s2
