Which risk occurs when an elevator’s cable breaks because of complete failure under tension?

A)Uncontrolled downward acceleration into freefall
B)Upward force due to cable momentum
C)Sudden thermal expansion causing binding
D)Electromagnetic interference disrupting controls

💡 Explanation

Uncontrolled downward acceleration arises instead, because in freefall, the equivalence principle implies that the sensation gravity disappears within the elevator, therefore the occupants experience weightlessness rather than crushing.
