In elevator cables experiencing upward acceleration, which consequence results when the principle of equivalence applies?

A)Increased cable tension unexpectedly appears
B)Unexpected damping reduces cable oscillation
C)Harmonic resonance cancels weight increase
D)Shear stress remains unchanged overall

💡 Explanation

Increased tension unexpectedly appears because acceleration simulates a gravitational field. Therefore, the cable experiences a perceived increase in weight due to the principle of equivalence, rather than alternatives such as damping since tension is now a more salient issue.
