I think I have been staring at this question too long as I can not figure it out. I am sure the answer is simple:
A 1500-kg elevator moves upward with a constant speed through a vertical distance of 25m. How much work was done by the tension in the cable?
I know that W= (F cos 0)s, and that F= ma. What I can't figure out is the acceleration. It doesn't have one as it is moving with a constant speed. Any info on where to start?
