A man of mass 70 kg stands on a weighing scale in a lift which is moving
- upwards with a uniform speed of 10 m s-1
- downwards with a uniform acceleration of 5 m s–2
- upwards with a uniform acceleration of 5 m s–2. What would be the readings on the scale in each case?
- What would be the reading if the lift mechanism failed and it hurtled down freely under gravity?

उत्तर
Here, m = 70 kg, g = 10 m/s2
In each instance, the weighing machine measures the reaction R, which represents the apparent weight.
(a) When the lift moves upwards with a uniform speed, acceleration a = 0.
R = mg = 70 x 10 = 700 N
(b) When the lift moves downward with a = 5 ms-2
R = m (g - a) = 70 (10 - 5) = 350 N
(c) When the lift moves upwards with a = 5 ms-2
R = m (g + a) = 70 (10 + 5) = 1050 N
(d) If the lift were to come down freely under gravity, downward acceleration. a = g
∴ R = m (g - a) = m (g - g) = zero.

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. The maximum and the minimum weights recorded are 72 kg and 60 kg, respectively. 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.
