Question:
A man weighs 80 kg, he stands on a weighing scale in a lift which is moving upwards with a uniform acceleration of 5 m/s2. What would be the reading on the scale? (g=10 m/s2)

- Zero
- 400 N
- 800 N
- 1200 N
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Reading of weighing scale
= m(g+a)
= 80 (10+5)
= 80 x 15
= 1200 N
So, the correct option is (D): 1200 N
