A fully loaded elevator cabin has a mass of 1200kg. In 3.0 minutes, the cabin must be raised to a height of 54 meters. Since the counterbalance has a mass of just 950kg, the elevator's engine must assist in balancing the cabin. What is the average power of the motor's tractive force operating on the cabin through a tow rope?
