When a lift is moving up with a uniform ...

When a lift is moving up with a uniform speed of 1 m/s. the weight of a man recorded bby a weighing machine in the lift is 70 kg . If the lift starts moving down with a uniform speed of 2 m/s, the weight of the man recorded by the weighing machine will be

A

72kg

B

70kg

C

68 kg

D

75kg

Text Solution
