Question: To reduce the power requirement of elevator motors, elevators are counterbalanced with weights connected to the elevator by a cable that runs over a pulley

To reduce the power requirement of elevator motors, elevators are counterbalanced with weights connected to the elevator by a cable that runs over a pulley at the top of the elevator shaft.

How much power is provided by the motor when the elevator ascends without a load at 2.3 m/s?
