an elevator of mass m = 400 kg starts from rest and is lowered to the ground by a rope in three stages. During the first second, it accelerates at 3 m/s^2 downward, then continues at a constant speed for six seconds, then slows down to a rest at 1 m/s^2 for three seconds.

a) find the initial height of the elevator.

b) find the total work done by the elevator by the rope.

c) find the average power done by the rope over each of the three stages.

The floor to ceiling height of an elevator is 4.5?. The elevator starts from the ground at rest and accelerates upward at 6?/?2. At ?=1?, a lamp on the elevator ceiling starts to fall (due to high ?forces). How long will it take the lamp to hit the floor? Solve this problem in two ways: a) From the perspective of a fixed X-Yframe(the ground frame). b) From the perspective of a frame moving with the elevator (the relative frame).
