Question

A man is standing on a platform of a balance and takes a quick step, then his weight:

• A. decreases
• B. increases
• C. remains unchanged
• D. first increases and then decreases

Answer 1

The correct option is D first increases and then decreases

When the man takes a quick step, he will apply more force on the platform than when he just stands on the platform. So, the balance reading will first increase and then decrease.
