A spring weighing machine inside a stationary lift reads 50kg when a man stands on it. What would happen to the scale reading if the lift is moving upward with constant velocity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) The reading of the machine will be 50kg wt. In this case, there will be no reaction, therefore Apparent weight=Actual weight.
