When lift is moving upwards
Weight = m(g + a)
= 60 kg × (10 + 2) m/s²
= 720 N

When lift is moving downwards
Weight = m(g - a)
= 60 kg × (10 - 2) m/s²
= 480 N

Hi Friend,

When the lift moves upwards,the new force acts with the net force.

=mg +ma
=m(g+a)

=60(10+2)
=60(12)
F=720 N

When the body acts against the gravity, the new force tends to decrease the net force.

=m(g-a)
= 60(10-2)
=60(8)

F=480N

Hope this helped you a little!!!!!!!
