Question

Consider a man standing on a scale which is placed in anelevator. When the elevator is stationary, the scale readingis Ss . Find Sup, the scale reading when the elevator ismoving upward with acceleration a (w/ vector sign on top) = 1/6 g j , in terms ofSs . Consider a man standing on a scale which is placed in anelevator. When the elevator is stationary, the scale readingis Ss . Find Sup, the scale reading when the elevator ismoving upward with acceleration a (w/ vector sign on top) = 1/6 g j , in terms ofSs .

Explanation / Answer

Given that the scale reading is Ss      the upward accelaration is a =g/6 -------------------------------------------------        if the body is movingupward then                          Sup- Ss = (Ss/g)a                          Sup= Ss + Ss/6                            the upward accelaration is a =g/6 -------------------------------------------------        if the body is movingupward then                          Sup- Ss = (Ss/g)a                          Sup= Ss + Ss/6
