A man stands on a weighing machine kept ...

A man stands on a weighing machine kept inside a lift . Initially , the lift is ascending with the acceleration a due to which the reading is W . Now the lift descends with the same acceleration and reading is 10 % of initial. Find the acceleration of lift.

A

`g/19 m//sec^(2)`

B

`(9g)/11 m//sec^(2)`

C

`0 m//sec^(2)`

D

`gm//sec^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B


`N=m(g+a)`
`N' =m(g-a)`
`N' =(10)/(100) xxN`
`m(g-a) = (m(g+1))/(10)`
`10g - 10 a = g +a`
`9g = 11a rArr a = (9g)/(11)`.
