Question on: JAMB Physics - 2011
A man standing on a lift that is descending does not feel any weight because
A
the inside of the lift is air tight
B
the lift is in vacuum
C
there is no reaction from the floor of the lift
D
there is no gravitational pull on the man in the lift
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
The resultant force acting on the man is given by w = mg - R
Mg - mg = 0
The man feels weightless because the reaction, R is equal to the weight mg
Mg - mg = 0
The man feels weightless because the reaction, R is equal to the weight mg
