In the figure below, elevator cabs A and B are connected by a short cable and can be pulled upward or lowered by the cable above cab A. Cab A has mass 1680 kg; cab B has mass 1500 kg. A 30 kg box of catnip lies on the floor of cab A. The tension in the cable connecting the cabs is 1.90 ×104 N. What is the magnitude of the normal force on the box from the floor?

An electric vehicle starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 1.5 m/s2 in a straight line until it reaches a speed of 18 m/s. The vehicle then slows at a constant rate of 3 m/s2 until it stops.  How far does the vehicle move from start to stop?

Suppose A = BC, where A has the dimensions L/T and C has the dimensions T/M. Then B has the dimension:

The SI base units have the dimensions of:

An elevator cab that weighs 2400 N moves upward. The tension in the cable if the cab’s speed is  increasing at a rate of 2.4 m/s2 is
