Question

A man whose mass is 10kg stands on a spring weighing machine inside an elevator.what's the reading of the weighing machine when the elevator starts to ascend with an acceleration 2m\s

Answer 1

Please I need this solved as soon as possible

Answer 2

F = ma
weight due to
gravity: 10g
elevator: 10*2
so, what do you think?

Answer 3

Sorry the weight is 80kg.
M(g+a)
80(10+2)
=960
Buh the problem is that the correct answer is 96
And it's seem confusing

Answer 4

If the mass is 80, the force on the scale is about 960 Newtons, not 96

Answer 5

M(g+a)
80(10+2)
960
960÷10
=96kg

Answer 6

It's force so we'll divide by 10 so as to make the answer KG
