Answer:
Its position is labeled as -5
Step-by-step explanation:
For elevator 1.
Its position after moving 10 ft up is;
p1 = r + 10
r = reference position.
given that p1 = +10
+10 = r + 10
r = 10 - 10 = 0
The reference position (ground floor) is zero
Since the Elevator 2 moves downward from the reference position (ground floor), it moves in the negative direction.
Its position can be written as;
p2 = r - 5 = 0 - 5 (since r = 0)
p2 = -5
Its position is labeled as -5
