    Q:

    		 An elevator is descending down an elevator shaft with constant speed. The elevator is supported by a single cable. Assuming the only forces at play are the tension in the cable and the force of gravity, then:
    		 

    A

    		 the magnitude of the work done by the tension force is larger than the magnitude of the work done by gravity.

    B

    		 the magnitude of the work done by the tension force is smaller than the magnitude of the work done by gravity.

    C

    		 the net work done by the two forces is zero.

    D

    		 the work done by the tension force is zero.
