A perso is standing on a weighing machine placed on the floor of an elevator. The elevator starts going up with some acceleratiion, moves with uniform velocity for a while and finally decelerates to stop. The maximum and the minimum weights recorded are 72 kg and 60 kg. Assuming that the magnitudes of the acceleration and the decelaration are teh same., find a. the true weight of the person and b. the magnitude of the acceleration. Take `g=9.9 m/s^2`.
