An elevator cage with a mass of 1200 kg is attached to a flexible cable with length of six meters, modulus of elasticity of 200 GPa, and cross-sectional area of 492 mm2. The elevator is at rest and its base is pulled by two centimeters, causing a free vibration of the cage. Find the displacement, velocity, and acceleration after one second.
