Simply because the cables that hold the elevator cannot resist to a certain weight. There is a weight limit to insure that the cables don't break. The weight limit might also be determined by the lifting power of the mechanism driving the elevator. This is probably a bigger concern than the cables; normally engineers build in a pretty hefty safety factor on those (and some elevators don't use cables at all but are powered by a hydraulic system).

Why was the elevator so important to architecture?
It is important to architecture because without the elevator, there wouldn't be so many high-rise buildings in the world. The elevator has impacted U.S History.
How can you destroy a elevator?
a bunch of c4
What is a rocket key?
The Rocket Key is the Elevator Key that powers the elevator in the Celadon City Rocket Headquarters, under the Game Corner.
What would you use to measure a load limit of an elevator with?
tons
What happens to your mass when the elevator goes down?
your mass is still the same
An elevator has a weight limit of 350lbs a box of machine parts weights 25lbs which inequality best describes the maximum number of boxes b that the elevator can hold?
An elevator has a weight limit of 350 pounds a box of machine parts weighs 25 pounds which inequality best describes the maximum number of boxes b that the elevator can hold
What is formulae for elevator's counter weight calculation?
The mass must be greater than the mass of the elevator including the maximum amount of cabling that it has, plus the carrying capacity plus a safety margin.
How do you draw an elevator free body diagram?
Draw an arrow pointing upwards for the tension force and an arrow pointing downwards for the weight of the elevator which will be its mass times gravity (mg). Also, draw another arrow pointing downwards for any mass that may be inside the elevator (another mass times gravity arrow but for a separate weight) and add that value to that of the weight of the elevator. Depending on the direction that the elevator is moving (up or down) draw another arrow respectively and label it "a" for acceleration.
Is weight changeable property compared to mass?
Yes. Ride an elevator and your weight changes, but your mass remains constant.
What is the practical unit of mass?
chandrashekar limit
How much does a home lift cost?
The price of a home elevator depends on many variables, including the type of elevator, whether it's new construction or a retrofit, the size and weight limit, the difficulty of installation, your location and more.
There is no limit to the mass with which a star can be born?
FALSE FALSE
What is the acceleration of an elevator if a student stands on bathroom scale in the elevator and the scales reads 836 newtons and the elevator is moving upward?
We have no way to calculate that, unless you also tell us either his mass, or else his weight on motionless ground, like when the scale is on the bathroom floor.
What force is needed to accelerate an elevator with a mass of 1000 kg upward at a rate of 2 m per second squared?
Weight of the elevator = 1000kg x -9.8m/s2 = -9800N Upward force acting on the elevator = 1000kg x 2m/s2 = 2000N Net force = upward force - weight of elevator = 2000N - (-9800N) = 11800N
Do you get in an elevator or on an elevator?
get in an elevator
