A95.1-kg person stands on a scale in an elevator. what is the apparent weight when the elevator is (a) accelerating upward with an acceleration of 2.48 m/s2, (b) moving upward at a constant speed, and (c) accelerating downward with an acceleration of 1.84 m/s2

Explanation:

Mass of the person in elevator

M = 95.1kg

a. When the elevator is accelerating upward at 2.48m/s²

Fnet = ma

R — W = ma

R — mg = ma

R = ma+mg

R = m(a+g)

R = 95.1(2.48+9.81)

R = 95.1 × 12.2

R = 1168.78N

b. Elevator moving upward at a constant speed

This means that it is not accelerating. Therefore, the acceleration is zero

Fnet = ma

a = 0

Fnet = 0

R - W = 0

R = W

R = mg

R = 95.1 × 9.81

R = 932.931 N.

c. Elevator accelerating downward at 1.84m/s².

Fnet = ma

Since it is downward, a is moving in -ve direction of y axis

R — W = -ma

R = W—ma

R = mg —ma

R = m(g-a)

R = 95.1(9.81—1.84)

R = 95.1 × 7.97

R = 757.947 N.
