Two crates, A and B are in an elevator as shown. The mass of crate A is greater than the mass of crate B. The elevator is initially moving downward at a constant speed but shows as it approaches its destination.
a) Draw a free-body diagram for crate B while the elevator is descending at constant speed. Use the length of the vector to indicate the relative magnitude of the forces(ie. if one force is greater in magnitude than another, its vector should be longer)
b) How would the forces change, if at all, when the elevator is slowing?(make a list of the forces acting and indicate whether they have increase, decreased, or stayed the same.)
For question a, is it only two forces acting on the crate B, one is gravitational force, another one is Normal force which is exerted by the floor of the elevator?
I am not sure for question b, hope someone can help!
Thanks
