The cable lifting an elevator is wrapped around a \(1.0-\mathrm{m}-\) diameter cylinder that is turned by the elevator's motor. The elevator is moving upward at a speed of \(1.6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). It then slows to a stop as the cylinder makes one complete turn at constant angular acceleration. How long does it take for the elevator to stop?
