- An electric elevator with a motor at the top has a cable weighing 4.5 pounds per foot.When the car is at the first floor, 180 feet of cable are out, and effectively 0 feet are outwhen the car is at the top floor. The elevator car itself weighs 2000 pounds when empty a) Find the work done by the motor lifting just the empty elevator car from the firstfloor to the top floor, ignoring the cable. b) Find the work done by the motor lifting just the cable from the first floor to the topfloor. Keep in mind, that the cable gets shorter and must therefore get lighter as theelevator goes up.arrow_forward33. ssm A bicyclist rides 5.0 km due east, while the resistive force from the air has a magnitude of 3.0 N and points due west.
