An elevator weighing 9800N is supported by a steel cable. (a) Find the tension in the cable at rest, when the elevator is moving up at a uniform speed of 1m/s, and when it is descending at a constant speed of 3m/s. (b) Find the tension in the cable when the elevator is accelerated upward at 5m/s?. (c) Find the tension in the cable when it is descending with an acceleration of 5m/s?.
