An elevator car has two equal masses attached to the ceiling as shown. (Assume m = 3.70 kg.) (a) The elevator ascends with an acceleration of magnitude 1.40 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 86.2 N. What is the maximum acceleration of the elevator so that a string does not break? (Enter the magnitude in m/s2.) m/s2

Two blocks, each of mass m = 2.85 kg are hung from the ceiling of an elevator as in the figure below. (a) If the elevator moves with an upward acceleration a→ of magnitude 1.1 m/s2, find the tensions T1 and T2 in the upper and lower strings. T1 = N T2 = N (b) If the strings can withstand a maximum tension of 69.4 N, what maximum acceleration can the elevator have before a string breaks? m/s2

A cord passing over a pulley connects two masses, as shown, where m1 = 2.80 kg and m2 = 6.50 kg. Assume the pulley and surfaces are frictionless, and the cord is massless and does not stretch. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values-including answers submitted in WebAssign-in your calculations.) (4) (a) What is the acceleration of each block? (Enter the magnitude in m/s2.) m/s2 (b) What is the tension in the cord (in N )? N
