उत्तर
The instantaneous force which body possesses due to the combined effect of mass and velocity is called momentum of the body. Mathematically, momentum is the product of mass and velocity.
P = mv
where P represents the momentum of the body.

A person is standing on a weighing machine placed on the floor of an elevator. The elevator starts going up with some acceleration, moves with uniform velocity for a while and finally decelerates to stop.

Assuming that the magnitudes of acceleration and deceleration are the same, find (a) the true weight of the person and (b) the magnitude of the acceleration. Take g = 9.9 m/s2.
