A woman stands on a scale in a moving elevator.
Her mass is 54.0 kg, and the combined mass of the elevator and scale is an additional 815 kg. Starting from rest, the elevator accelerates upward. During the acceleration, the hoisting cable applies a force of 9470 N. What does the scale read during the acceleration?
I've managed to get 48 kg as my answer. Am I correct in this case?

No, if it is accelerating UPWARD her mass should read more than 54kg.
