To solve the problem, we will analyze the effect of the harmonic vibrations on the reading of the weighing machine. The steps are as follows: ### Step 1: Understand the situation A man is standing on a weighing machine that reads 50 kg, which corresponds to a weight of \( W = mg = 50 \, \text{kg} \times 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 500 \, \text{N} \). ### Step 2: Determine the frequency and amplitude of the vibrations The platform is vibrating with a frequency of \( f = 2 \, \text{Hz} \) and an amplitude of \( A = 5 \, \text{cm} = 0.05 \, \text{m} \). ...
