Problem 5.49 You've always wondered about the acceleration of the elevators in the 101-story-tall Empire State Building. One day, while visiting New York, you take your bathroom scale into the elevator and stand on it. The scale reads 150 lb as the door closes. The reading varies between 130 lb and 170 lb as the elevator makes its upward journey. What is the magnitude of the acceleration as the elevator brakes to a stop?
