The mass of a lift is 600kg. the. the maximum tensile force that the cable supporting the lift can withstand is 7kn. calculate the: maximum upward acceleration.
and the force in the cable when the lift is moving at a constant velocity

Force is the product of mass and acceleration .
The question is ask to find acceleration.
But acceleration is the ratio of the force and the mass.
where 600kg is the mass and 7kN is the force
NB: kilo is 1000
now we have to multiply 7N by 1000
by doing so you will have 7000N
which is the force.
Now to find the acceleration: force/ mass
which is 7000/600
therefore the maximum acceleration is 11.667
