Question

a woman weighs Fg=650 when standing on a stationary scale. The woman is riding an elevator from the 1st floor to the 10th floor. As the elevator approaches the 10th floor, it decreases its upward speed from 9 m/s to 1 m/s in a time interval of 1 second. What is the average force exerted by the elevator floor on the woman during this 1 second interval? g=10m/s^2 My answer is 260 N. Is this correct?

Answer 1

I figured it out. 130N. I forgot about gravity.
