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 .

Assertion : The equation of motion can be applied only if acceleration is along the direction of velocity and is constant. Reason : If the acceleration of a body is constant then its motion is known as uniform motion.

A lift is accelerated upward Will the apparent weight of a person inside the lift increase , decrease or remain the same relative to its real weight ? If the lift is going with unifrom speed then ?

A body weights 5 kg in air. Calculate the apparent weight of the body in water if its density is 2000 kg//m^(3) .

A body is kept in a lift may be moving upwards or dowwards. It is found that durig the motion of the lift, the apparent weight of the body becomes twice its real weight. Then the lift is

Which of the following is/are correct statement? I. The apparent weight of a man in a lift going upward with some acceleration becomes more. II. The apparent weight of a man in a lift going upward with some velocity become less. III. The apparent weight of a man in a lift going upward with some acceleration become less.

A man is standing in a lift which goes up and comes down with the same constant acceleration. If the ratio of the apparent weights in the two cases is 2 : 1 , then the acceleration of the lift is : (Take g = 10 m//s^(2) )

A lift is going upwards with an acceleration of 4.9 m//s^(2) What will be the apparent weight of a 60 kg person sitting in the lift ? What when the lift acquires a unifrom velocity of 4.9 m//s ? If rope of the lift is broken , then ? Take g = 9.8 m//s^(2) .

If a body of mass m is carried by a lift moving with an upward acceleration a , then the forces acting on the body are (i) the reaction R on the floor of the lift upwards (ii) the weight mg of the body acting vertically downwards. The equation of motion will be given by
