Answer:
Mass, m = 816.33kg
Explanation:
Weight can be defined as the force acting on a body or an object as a result of gravity.
Mathematically, [tex] Weight, W = mg[/tex]
Where;
- m is the mass of an object.
- g is acceleration due to gravity.
Making mass, m the subject of formula, we have;
[tex] Mass, m = \frac {W}{g} [/tex]
Given the following data;
Weight = 8000N
We know acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s²
Substituting into the equation, we have;
[tex] Mass, m = \frac {8000}{9.8} [/tex]
Mass, m = 816.33kg
Therefore, the mass of the elevator is 816.33kg.
