What would happen? Would the water hit the roof of the elevator since the elevator is falling rapidly?
I thought about it when I put Eye Drops in an elevator.
In: Physics
Several problems
Elevators fall upward. If everything were to fail it would go up because the counterbalance weighs more than the car up to the max weight.
Elevators have brakes
If they move past the speed the motor can handle, the brakes engage
Elevators are on a track that has friction greater than 0. Even if all the aforementioned things failed and the cable somehow was severed, the elevator wouldn’t be able to reach freefall speed, so the water would always be able to hit the bottom of the car.
