A person standing on a spring balance inside a stationary lift measures 60 kg. The weight of that person if the lift descends with uniform downward acceleration of 1.8 m s-2 will be                N. g=10 m s-2

Solution

When lift is at rest

N=mg

60×10=600 N

When lift moves with downward acceleration. In frame of lift pseudo force will be in upward direction.

N'=Mg-a

6010-1.8

N'492 N
