To solve the problem, we need to determine the reading of the weighing scale when a person stands on it in a descending lift that is accelerating downwards. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the known values - Mass of the person (m) = 50 kg - Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s² - Downward acceleration of the lift (a) = 9 m/s² ### Step 2: Understand the forces acting on the person ...
