Assume that Einstein's mass is 72.2 m = kg. When the elevator is stationary and does not move, its weight is W = m x g = 72.2 x 9.8 = 708 N.

What is your acceleration? Using a rope you are lifting upward at constant speed a bucket of water from a well. All frictional forces are neglected. In this situation, forces on the bucket of water are such that 1. the upward force by the rope is greater than the downward force of gravity. 2. the upward force by the rope is equal to the downward force of gravity. 3. the upward force by the rope is smaller than the downward force of gravity. 4.none of the above.
