An elevator of mass m moving upward has two forces acting on

An elevator of mass m moving upward has two forces acting on it: the upward force of tension in the cable and the downward force due to gravity. When the elevator is accelerating upward, which is greater, Tor w? (b) When the elevator is moving at a constant velocity upward, which is greater, T or w? (c) When the elevator is moving upward, but the acceleration is downward, which is greater, Tor w? (d) Let the elevator have a mass of 1,350 kg and an upward acceleration of 2.7 m/s². Find T. (e) The elevator of part (d) now moves with constant upward velocity of 10 m/s. Find T.
