Answer:
[tex]W = 9800 \ \rm N.[/tex]
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass, [tex]m = 1000 \ kg[/tex]
Acceleration due to gravity, [tex]g = 9.8 \ m/s^{2}[/tex]
Here, the elevator is in free-fall. The force experienced by the elevator would be equal to its weight.
Thus,
[tex]W = mg[/tex]
[tex]W = 1000 \ kg \times 9.80 \ m/s^{2}[/tex]
[tex]W = 9800 \ \rm N.[/tex]
