A man stands in a lift going downward with uniform velocity. He experiences a loss of weight at the start but not when lift is in uniform motion. Explain Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The apparent weight W' when lift is going down with acceleration 'a' is given by W' = m (g-a).
Iniially, when the lift is in acceleration at start a = 0 and hence, W'
