If the tension in the cable of 1000kg elevator is 1000 kg weight, the elevator is- Answer is elevator is maybe at rest or in uniform motion. Pl explain or solve why! Thanks!

1000 kg weight is equal to 1000gN. Now total force on a cable will be given by m(g+a)=1000(g+a).
So we have
     1000(g+a)=1000g
or, a=0
So the elevator is in rest or in uniform motion.
