A physics student, in a stationary elevator, places a 210.0 g mass on an electronic balance. The student hits the elevator button and it begins to move upwards. While the elevator is moving, the student records this information Time = 0 to 3.0 sec the balance reads 274 grams Time = 3.0 - 12 sec the balance reads 210. grams Time = 12.0 to 15.0 sec the balance reads 197 gram How far up (in meters) did the elevator travel?

Question

A physics student, in a stationary elevator, places a 210.0 g mass on an electronic balance.

The student hits the elevator button and it begins to move upwards. While the elevator is moving, the student records this information

Time = 0 to 3.0 sec the balance reads 274 grams

Time = 3.0 - 12 sec the balance reads 210. grams

Time = 12.0 to 15.0 sec the balance reads 197 gram

How far up (in meters) did the elevator travel?

Consider:

UP to be (+), DOWN to be (-) and g =9.8 m/s. 

ROUND YOUR ANSWER TO A WHOLE NUMBER of meters (no decimal places)
