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!

p=mad/t
vf^2=vi^2+2ax
vf=vi+at

(((900+688)*(1.02+9.8)-4890)*8.68)/4.13
