A related type of beta decay actually decreases the atomic number of the nucleus when a proton becomes a neutron. Due to charge conservation, this type of beta decay involves the release of a charged particle called a “positron” that looks and acts like an electron but has a positive charge.
Since the elevator is moving with a constant speed and not accelerating, the tension in the string is simply the normal, routine, everyday boring weight of the object.

Power is defined as
P = I*V
where I is the current and V is the voltage
Ohm's law gives us the relation betwen Voltage and current in a resistive component
V = I*R , Then
P = V² / R
We solve for R,
R = (110 V)²/ 75W = 161.33 ohms
|Acceleration| = (change in speed) / (time for the change).
Change in speed = (6 mi/hr - 25 mi/hr) = -19 mi/hr
Time for the change = 10 sec
|Acceleration| = (-19 mi/hr) / (10 sec) = -1.9 mile per hour per second
Admittedly, that's a rather weird unit.
Other units, perhaps more comfortable ones, are:
-6,840 mi/hr²
-2.79 feet/sec²
