Mecahnics problem solving needed

Question

Elevator is going down at the speed of 3,0 m/s and the elevator is  slowing down at a constant speed. The elevator is stopped at 2,0 seconds after breaking down. The elevator weights 850 kg. How big is the force for the elevator's cable to affect in the breaking? 

 

In this problem we have to draw the situation on paper for the forces that affect on the elevator. We have the cable (T) and the gravity (G). If the speed in constant at slowing down, isn't the acceleration zero because of the Newton 2 law? 

 

Answer 1

Since the question was worded a bit off, it is difficult to create a proper lesson. 

However, these questions can be written from many angles. I recommend reviewing a related lesson on the related topic so that you can get a grasp on the different concepts, and then you should be able to figure your question or post it as it was written originally.
