The two forces involved in elevator movement are the gravitational force and the electromagnetic force.
The gravitational force, also known as weight, pulls the elevator and its passengers towards the center of the earth. This force is responsible for the downward movement of the elevator.
The electromagnetic force is responsible for the upward movement of the elevator. It works by using an electric motor to pull the elevator up using cables and pulleys.
The gravitational force pulls the elevator down while the electromagnetic force counters it by pulling the elevator up. These forces work together to create a balanced movement of the elevator.
Aside from the gravitational and electromagnetic forces, there are also other forces involved in elevator movement such as friction, air resistance, and the weight of the elevator itself. However, these forces are relatively small and do not significantly affect the movement of the elevator.
