Question

A person of mass $50 k g$ is standing in lift. What weight will he experience if the lift is moving upwards with acceleration $2 m / s^{2}$

Open in App

Solution

The weight experienced by the person is given as,

$F = m (g + a)$

$= 50 \times (9.8 + 2)$

$= 590 N$

Thus, the weight experienced if the lift is moving upwards is $590 N$ .
