Which of the following best represents the free-body diagram for a freight elevator attached by a cable, being pulled upward, and slowing down, without touching the sides of the elevator shaft?

Two forces: an upward tension force from the cable and a downward gravitational force, with the tension force smaller than gravity.

Two forces: an upward tension force from the cable and a downward gravitational force, with the tension force larger than gravity.

Only one force: an upward tension force from the cable.
