Determine the work done by the elevator in lifting you, Physics

Assignment Help:

Concept: You are moving into an apartment and take the elevator to the 6th floor. Does the force exerted on you by the elevator do positive or negative work when the elevator (a)goes up and (b) goes down? Explain.

Problem:

Suppose your weight is 685 N and that of your belongings is 915 N. (a) Determine the work done by the elevator in lifting you and your belongings up to the 6th floor (15.2 m) at a constant velocity. (b) How much work does the elevator do on you alone (without belongings) on the downward trip, which is also made at a constant velocity?
