(a) An elevator of mass m moving upward has two forces
acting on it: the upward force of tension in the cable and the
downward force due to gravity. When the elevator is accelerating
upward, which is greater, T or w?
(b) When the elevator is moving at a constant velocity upward,
which is greater, T or w?
