JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 4.1 newtons laws of motion

A person standing on a spring balance inside a stationary lift measures \(60 \,kg\). The weight of that person if the lift descends with uniform downward acceleration of \(1.8\, m / s ^{2}\) will be \(_{-} N\). \(\left[ g =10\, m / s ^{2}\right]\)

  1. A \(486\)
  2. B \(492\)
  3. C \(512\)
  4. D \(456\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(492\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When lift is at rest \(N = mg\) \(\Rightarrow 60 \times 10=600 N\) When lift moves with downward acceleration. In frame of lift pseudo force will be in upward direction. \(N^{\prime}=M(g-a)\) \(\Rightarrow 60(10-1.8)\) \(N^{\prime} \Rightarrow 492 N\)
