- the acceleration during the first stage and the deceleration during the third stage.
The mass of the elevator is 800 kg and there is a box of mass 100 kg on the floor of the elevator.
- Find the tension in the cable in each of the three stages of the motion.
- Find the greatest and least values of the magnitude of the force exerted on the box by the floor of the elevator.
