A man of mass \(60 \text{ kg}\) is standing in a lift moving up with a retardation of \(2.8 \text{ ms}^{-2}\). The apparent weight of the man is
Show Hint
"Moving up with retardation" is physically equivalent to "moving down with acceleration". In both cases, the apparent weight becomes less than the true weight, so \(W = m(g - a)\).
