What is the speed of the elevator after it has moved

Reference no: EM13635809

In a "worst-case" design scenario, a 2000kg elevator with broken cables is falling at 4.00m/s when it first contacts a cushioning spring at thebottom of the shaft. The spring is supposed to stop the elevator, compressing 2.00m as it does so. During the motion a safety clamp applies a constant 17000N frictional force to the elevator.

1. What is the speed of the elevator after it has moved downward 1.00m from the point where it first contacts aspring?

2. When the elevator is 1.00m below point where it first contacts a spring, whatis its acceleration?
