ANSWER:
Part (a)
Step 1 of 7:
Consider an elevator cable is accelerating at a particular rate. The motion is affected by a frictional force. The mass of the elevator is given. We need to find the force supplied by the elevator cable to produce that acceleration.
The acceleration produced
The mass of the elevator
The frictional force acting
The acceleration due to gravity
