The apparent weight of man inside a lift moving up with certain acceleration is 900N. When the lift is coming down with the same acceleration apparent weight is found to be 300N. The mass of the man is (g = 10 ms^(-2) )

A man in a lift feels an apparent weight W when the lift is moving up with a uniform acceleration of 1/3rd of the acceleration due to gravity. If the same man were in the same lift now moving down with a uniform acceleration that is 1/2 of the acceleration due to gravity, then his apparent weight is
