What force is needed to accelerate an elevator with a mass of 1000 kg upward at a rate of 2 m per second squared?
Weight of the elevator = 1000kg x -9.8m/s2 = -9800N Upward force acting on the elevator = 1000kg x 2m/s2 = 2000N Net force = upward force - weight of elevator = 2000N - (-9800N) = 11800N
A weight reading on a scale shows the upward force exerted by the scale?
Scales are intended to measure some downward force acting on the scale, which is the weight of the object placed on the scale to be weighed, but it is also true that the downward force is necessarily balanced by an equal and opposite upward force, otherwise the scale would be forced downward (which would be very awkward since it would break through the floor and create quite a mess).
What is the upward force on area of 4.875 square inches with 20000 lbs weight down?
4102.6lbs per square inch

When the bouyant force is greater than the force of gravity an object will?
Float. Essentially, an upward force is larger than the downward force, therefore the upward force wins.
