a man inside an artificial satellite feels weightlessness because the force of attraction due to Earth is non- effective due to particular design of satellite

hope it helps

\textsf{\underline{\large{Inside an Artificial Satellite}}} :

Let us consider that an artificial satellite is revolving around the earth in an orbit of radius, r. Then, it's acceleration will be \mathsf{\dfrac{GM}{{r}^{2}}}, towards the centre of the earth.

Here, M is the mass of the earth. Suppose a body of mass m lies on an inside surface of the satellite.

Forces acting on this body will be

1 ). Gravitational pull of the earth = \mathsf{\dfrac{GMm}{{r}^{2}}}

2 ). Reaction Force, R of the surface.

Using Newton's 2nd Law,

\mathsf{\dfrac{GMm}{{r}^{2}} - \:R\:=\:ma\:=\:m({\dfrac{GMm}{{r}^{2}}}})

 \boxed{\mathsf{R\:=\:0}}

Hence, the surface does not exert any type of force on the body and thus it's apparent weight is 0.

That's why man inside an artificial satellite feels weightlessness.
