A person is standing in an elevator. In which situation, he experiences weight loss?

Pick an option to check your answer.

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) When the elevator moves downward with constant acceleration

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(mg - N = ma\)

\(\Rightarrow N = m ( g - a )\)

\(\therefore\) Person experiences weightloss, when acceleration of lift is downward.
