Question

As a result of being pulled by a cable, an elevator whose weight is 2296.5 lbs is moving with upward acceleration of 0.6 m/s2. Assume that the only two forces acting on the elevator are a) the force of gravity and b) the tension in the cable which raises and lowers the elevator. What is the tension in the cable?
