Answer :

In this case we are given a force of 29,000 N. We know
that the equation we can use is:



Force = mass * acceleration





However this is not just any type of force, because this
is the weight of the elevator. So when the force is equal to weight, the
acceleration acting is simply gravity. Therefore:





weight = mass * gravity





Calculating for mass:



mass = 29,000 N / (9.8 m/s^2)



mass = 2,959.18 kg
