Elevator Maximum Capacity Calculation

What is the maximum weight that an elevator with a capacity of 834 kg can hold?

Final answer:

The maximum weight a 834 kg capacity elevator can hold is 8172.6 N.

An elevator has a maximum capacity of 834 kg. To calculate the maximum weight it can hold, we need to convert the mass from kilograms to newtons. The weight of an object can be calculated by multiplying its mass by the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s².

Therefore, the calculation is as follows:

Maximum Weight = 834 kg * 9.8 m/s² = 8172.6 N

So, the maximum weight that an elevator with a capacity of 834 kg can hold is 8172.6 newtons.
