A man of mass $60$ kg climbed down using an elevator. The elevator had an acceleration $4$ m/s$^2$. If the acceleration due to gravity is $10$ m/s$^2$, the apparent weight on his way down is
A man of mass $60$ kg climbed down using an elevator. The elevator had an acceleration $4$ m/s$^2$. If the acceleration due to gravity is $10$ m/s$^2$, the apparent weight on his way down is
Show Hint
If elevator accelerates downward, apparent weight decreases: $N = m(g-a)$.
