Consider the following FBDs.FBDsAn elevator is suspended by a cable and moves uniformly upward. Which of the above free body diagrams best represents the forces acting on the elevator?

The force of gravity F_g will act downwards.
Normal force F_N will act upwards equal to the force of gravity.
A force due to uniform acceleration F_a will act upwards to move the elevator upwards.
Thus, figure E is the correct answer.
