Question

A 578 Newton person takes an elevator from the first floor to the second floor of a building. The elevator quickly accelerates at a rate of 1.1 m/s^2 and then moves at a constant speed. Find the passenger's apparent weight during this period of acceleration.
(578N)(9.8)=5664.4N is the true weight
5664.4N-(578n)(1.1)=1132.57N apparant weight.

Is this correct?
