I used 4Vw +Vc = 0. Which means the elevator would rise at 8m/s but that can't be right.

What equation could I use to include the height and downward speed as a function of time?

Homework Statement In the sketch at right, the winch W draws the cable at a constant rate of 2 m/s. Calculate the velocity of the counterweight C relative to the elevator E. Homework Equations (Sa-Sc)+(Sb-Sc)+Sb=I2 The Attempt at a Solution I must be using the wrong equation...
