Question

what is the weight of an astronaut while going up in a rocket with an acceleration 6 g if he actually weight 75 kg, when stationery on the surface of the earth? what is his Apparent weight if the rocket falls down feeling towards the earth?

Answer 1

the weight of astronaut in rocket would be f=m×acceleration so
f=75×6
f=450N
as we know acceleration in the earth surface is 9.8G but we take it as 10G so the weight would be f=75×10
f=750N
if the rocket would fall towards earth so they would be weight
