Calculate the apparent weight loss of a man wei... - JAMB Physics 2013 Question
Calculate the apparent weight loss of a man weighing 70kg in an elevator moving downwards with an acceleration of 1.5ms-2.
[g = 10ms-2]
[g = 10ms-2]
A
686N
B
595N
C
581N
D
105N
correct option: d
Wt loss = mg - m (g - a)
= 70 x 10 - 70 (10 - 1.5) = 105N
= 70 x 10 - 70 (10 - 1.5) = 105N
