In an elevator moving vertically up with an acceleration g, the force exerted on the floor by a passanger of mass M is

A

Zero

B

`1/2Mg`

C

`Mg`

D

`2Mg`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When an elevator is moving up with an acceleration (g), the force exerted on the floor by a passenger of mass M is his apparent weight.
`therefore F= m(g+a)= m(g+g)= 2mg`
