Let us denote as the highest acceleration of the truck by itself. The force generated by the engine to propel the truck in this scenario is

where m is the mass of the truck alone.

Upon attaching a bus that has double the mass of the truck, the total mass of the entire system (truck+bus) becomes (m+2m)=3m. In this situation, the force generated by the engine is

where a2 represents the new acceleration. 
Since the engine remains unchanged, the force generated stays the same, allowing us to set the force equations equal to each other:

and solving for a2 gives us:

The gravitational force acting on the elevator is 4500N. Explanation: The parameters provided indicate that the force exerted by the elevator is F = 4500 N. The elevator does not accelerate. According to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the cable matches the gravitational force on the elevator, which represents its weight (W), and the elevator's motion stands as follows: F = W + (Mass of elevator × Acceleration of elevator). Therefore, F = W + (Mass of elevator × 0) = W, which leads us to F = 4500 N = W. The net force on the elevator can be expressed as F - W = 0, confirming that the gravitational force on the elevator equals W = 4500N.

The full sentence states:
In a third class lever, the distance between the effort and the fulcrum is LESS than the distance between the load/resistance and the fulcrum.
In a third class lever, the fulcrum is positioned on one end of the effort, while the load/resistance is on the opposite side, placing the effort somewhere in between. Consequently, the distance from the effort to the fulcrum is less than that from the load to the fulcrum.
