I need help on this question:
You are going up in an elevator. Initially the elevator accelerates for 2.0 s to 6.0 m/s. Then it moves for 4.0s, and then it stops uniformly in 3.0s. What are the magnitudes of the normal forces exerted by the floor on you, if your weight is 784 N, in the three situations?
A light rope is attached to a block m, = 6.00kg that rests on a
frictionless, horizontal surface. The horizontal rope passes over a
frictionless, massless pulley, and a block with mass m, is suspended
from the other end. When the blocks are released, the tension in the
rope is 17.0N.

Draw two free-body diagrams: one for each block.
What is the acceleration of either block?
Find m2.
How does the tension compare to the weight of the hanging block? Why?

Block A in Fig. P5.89 has mass 4.00 kg, and block B has
mass 12.0 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block B
and the horizontal surface is 0.25. (a) What is the mass of block C
if block B is moving to the right and speeding up with an accelera-
tion of 2.00 m/s?? (b) What is the tension in each cord when block B
