HELP!! An elevator, including passengers has a mass of 1.0 x 10^3 kg. The cable attached to the elevator exerts an upward force of 1.2 x 10^4N. Friction opposing to the motion of the elevator is 1.5 x 10^3N. Draw a free body diagram to determine the net force acting on the object.

Question

You'll have a vector pointing up for the cable force
and two vectors pointing down, one for friction and the other
for gravity 9weight), assuming there is no other acceleration.
