You weigh yourself when you are in a motionless elevator You weigh 100 lbs The elevator starts to move and you weigh 90lbs What is the acceleration of the elevator?

The elevator is accelerating downwards at g / 10 or ~3.2 ft/sec/sec (.98 m/sec/sec) note. the question shows that the weighing took place on a bathroom scale or a spring balance. If you used a beam balance or a steelyard you would always measure 100lbs.


A 60 kg person stands on a scale in an elevator. (a) What does the scale read (in N) when the elevator is at rest N (b) What does it read when the elevator is climbing at a constant speed of 4.5 ms N?

We must use: (Force) = (Mass) x (Acceleration) Force = 400 N Acceleration = 9.8 m/(s^2) Mass = M 400 N = ( M ) x ( 9.8 m/(s^2)) After calculating, we find the mass of the man to be 40.82 kg.
