Question:
If a lift is going up with acceleration, the apparent weight of a body is:
If a lift is going up with acceleration, the apparent weight of a body is:
Show Hint
In an accelerating lift, the apparent weight increases due to the upward acceleration, making the person feel heavier.
Updated On: Apr 21, 2025
- More or less than true weight
- Equal to the true weight
- Less than the true weight
- More than the true weight
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
When a lift is accelerating upwards, the apparent weight of a body increases. This is because the total force acting on the body is the sum of the gravitational force and the additional force due to the lift's acceleration. This makes the apparent weight greater than the true weight.
Thus, the correct answer is (D) More than the true weight.
Thus, the correct answer is (D) More than the true weight.
