As per the question the weight of the elevator is 14,700 N.

The weight of a substance is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity or we may say it is the force with which earth attracts any body towards its centre.

The acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

Hence force of gravity=weight

$i.e\ \ F_{g} = m*g$ [ m stands for mass]

$m=\frac{F_{g}} {g}$

$m=\frac{14700}{9.8} kg$

m=1500 kg

The acceleration of the accelerator[a] $=\ -0.30m/s^2$

It means the elevator is decelerating.

As per the free body diagram, the weight of elevator is in vertically downward direction.

The force of tension $[F_{t} ]$ is in vertically upward direction.

Hence the net force acting on the elevator is $F_{g} -F_{t}$

As per Newton's law's of motion the net force $[F_{net} ]= ma$

$i.e\ F_{g} -F_{t} = ma$

$F_{t} =F_{g} -ma$

= 14,700- 1500*[-0.30] N

=[14,700+450] N

=15,150 N [ANS]

Hence the correct option is D i.e 15,150 N.

The key to stability is feedback between the reservoir and the fluxes into and/or out of the reservoir. assume that the rate of outflow from a reservoir depends on the size of the reservoir according to the following relationship: outflow rate= k x (size of reservoir), where k is a constant. a reservoir of water has a volume of 5000 liters, and the rate of outflow at steady state is 25 liters per minute. what is k? (give both the numerical value and its units.) what is the residence time? what is the relationship between k and the residence time?
