An elevator cable breaks when a 880 kg elevator is 23.0 m above a huge spring (k = 2.00×105 N/m ) at the bottom of the shaft.

Calculate the magnitude of the amount the spring compresses (note that work is done by both the spring and gravity in this part).

Express your answer using three significant figures.

You are designing a safety device in case of a failure of an elevator. You need to design for a 2000-kg elevator that is falling at 4.00 m/s when it first contacts a cushioning spring at the bottom of the elevator shaft. The spring should stop the elevator, compressing 2.00 m as it does so. In addition to the spring, a safety clamp applies a constant 17000-N frictional force to the elevator to help stop it. Part A When the...

An elevator car including the passengers has a mass of 1100 kg and travels downwards at constant speed of 4.000 m/s for 32.00 m. The force of friction averaging 80.00 N acts on the elevator. The work done by the force of gravity; the work done by the force of friction; and the work done by the cable supporting the elevator during the 32.00 m excursion were (in that order, in kJ): Answer: 345.0; -2.560; -342.4
