(a) A person of mass 'm' is standing in a lift. Find his apparent weight when the lift is(i) Moving upward with uniform acceleration 'a'.(ii) Moving downward with uniform acceleration 'a' (< g).(iii) falls freely.(b) Explain why, it is easier to pull a lawn mover than to push it.​

Answer»

a) i)When lift is moving up,  R-mg=ma      R=m(a+g)ii)When lift is moving down,    mg-R=ma   R=m(g-a)iii)When lift is falling FREELY, a=g    R=m(g-g)       =0  ie, the body is weightless.b) Taking equation R=m(g-a) into account,             The normal reaction(force) is GREATER when we pull a LAWN.
