Question:medium
An object of mass m is placed in a lift moving upward with acceleration g/2. Find apparant weight.
An object of mass m is placed in a lift moving upward with acceleration g/2. Find apparant weight.
Show Hint
Lift accelerating UP $\implies$ feels heavier $\implies W_{app} = m(g+a)$
- Lift accelerating DOWN $\implies$ feels lighter $\implies W_{app} = m(g-a)$
- Lift accelerating DOWN $\implies$ feels lighter $\implies W_{app} = m(g-a)$
