An object is hanging by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. the elevator is moving upward with a constant speed. what is the magnitude of the tension in the string? an object is hanging by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. the elevator is moving upward with a constant speed. what is the magnitude of the tension in the string?

The magnitude of the tension in the string, when the elevator is moving with constant speed is equal to the mass time gravitational force.

Tension is the pulling force carried by the flexible mediums like ropes, cables and string.Tension in a body due to the weight of the hanging body is the net force acting on the body.

For the body with mass (m) hanging on a string, the tension force of string can be given in three ways,

Here, in the problem the object is hanging by a string from the ceiling of an elevator and the elevator is moving upward with a constant speed.

As the elevator is moving with constant velocity. Thus, the magnitude of the tension in the string,

Since the elevator is moving with a constant speed and not accelerating, the tension in the string is simply the normal, routine, everyday boring weight of the object.  Since the elevator is moving with a constant speed and not accelerating, the tension in the string is simply the normal, routine, everyday boring weight of the object.
