Answer:

1. 588 N

2. 738 N

3. 588 N

Explanation:

time, t = 4 s

initial velocity, u = 0

final velocity, v = 10 m/s

mass, m= 60 kg

1.

Weight of passenger before starts

W =m g = 60 x 9.8 = 588 N

2.

When the elevator is speeding up

v = u + a t

10 = 0 + a x 4

a = 2.5 m/s2

Now the weight is

W' = m (a + g) = 60 (9.8 + 2.5) = 738 N

3.

When he reaches the cruising speed, the weight is

W = 588 N
