Extracted text: A 77-kg woman holds a 7-kg package as she stands within an elevator which briefly accelerates upward at a rate of 0.16g. Determine the force R which the elevator floor exerts on her feet and the lifting force L which she exerts on the package during the acceleration interval. If the elevator support cables suddenly and completely fail, what values would R and L acquire? 7kg 0.16g 77kg Answers: While accelerating, R= i LN i After the cables fail, R = i LA i
