An elevator cable can have a maximum stress of $7 \times 10^7\,N/m^2$ for appropriate safety factors. Its maximum upward acceleration is $1.5\,m/s^2$ . If the cable has to support the total weight of $2000\,kg$ of a loaded elevator, the minimum area of crosssection of the cable should be ....... $cm^2$ $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$
