Im having trouble with a part of a problem. The problem is:
There is an elevator with a mass of 1200kg accelrating upward at 2.1m/s^2. Find T.
For that what I did was 1200 \times 9.8m/s^2 which gave me 11,760. I then plugged this into F=ma and got 14,280.
The second part of the equation says:
The elevator now moves with a constant upward velocity of 10m/s. Find T.
This is where I get stuck. I don't know how to factor in velocity.
