An object is hanging by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. The elevator is slowing down while moving upward. What is the magnitude of the tension in the string? O The magnitude of the tension in the string is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the object. O The tension in the string is zero. O The tension in the string cannot be determined without knowing the speed of the elevator. O The magnitude of the tension in the string is less than the magnitude of the weight of the object. O The magnitude of the tension in the string is greater than the magnitude of the weight of the object.
