the apparent weight of a student in alift is 564N . if the mass of the student is 60.3kg, what is the acceleration of the lift ? use negative is the acceleration vector is pointing downwards


Sagot :

Answer:

-.457 m/s^2

Explanation:

Actual weight =   60 .3 (9.81) = 591.54 N

Accel of lift changes this to    60.3 ( 9.81 - L)     where L - accel of lift

                                           60.3 ( 9.81 - L ) = 564

                                               solve for L = .457 m/s^2  DOWNWARD

                                                        so L = - .457 m/s^2
