AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Motion In One Dimension

A person of \(60 \mathrm{~kg}\) mass is in a lift which is coming down such that the man exerts a force of \(150 \mathrm{~N}\) on the floor of the lift. Then the acceleration of the lift is \(\left(g=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\right)\)

  1. A \(7.5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)
  2. B \(40.0 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)
  3. C \(22.5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)
  4. D \(15.0 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(7.5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here \(g_{e f f}=g-a\) So, \(m(g-a)=150 \mathrm{~N}\) \(60(10-a)=150\) \(a=7.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\)
