An elevator has a weight of 14,700 N and has an acceleration of –0.30 m/s2. The free-body diagram shows the forces acting on the elevator.

A free body diagram with 2 force vectors. One vector is pointing up, labeled F Subscript t Baseline. The second vector is shorter pointing down, labeled F Subscript g Baseline.
To the nearest whole number, what is the force of tension, Ft, acting on the elevator?

450 N
1500 N
14,250 N
15,150 N
