Question

The apparent weight of a person of mass 60 kg in a lift is 900 N when the lift moves upwards. If the lift moves downwards

Answer 1

The weight of the man going up= 900N

Weight while coming down =300N

So the weight of the men = 600N

Now w=mg

m=w/g

= 600/10 (taking. g = 10m/s square)

= 60kg
