An elevator has a mass of 900 kg and carries a maximum load of 688 kg. A constant
frictional force of 4890 N retards its motion upward.


What power must the motor deliver at an
instantaneous speed of 4.21 m/s if the elevator
is designed to provide an upward acceleration
of 1.02 m/s?
Answer in units of W

Thanks!
