Problem 4. An elevator with a person in it is being pulled upwards by a massive cable. Identify all interaction forces (consistent with Newton's 3rd Law) in the system. Specify

the object the force acts on, a label for its magnitude and its direction. Consider your system to consist of the cable,the elevator, the Earth and the person. For example, the Earth pulls down on the elevator with force Melevatorg and the elevator pulls up on the Earth with force Melevatorg. There are four more pairs of forces (when you ignore gravitational forces that do not include the Earth).
