Question

The apparent weight of a man in moving lift is less than his real weight when it is going down with ________.

चलती लिफ्ट में एक आदमी का स्पष्ट वजन उसके वास्तविक वजन से कम होता है जब वह ________ के साथ नीचे जा रही होती है।

A.

uniform speed

B.

an acceleration

C.

some linear momentum      

D.

retardation

Answer ( Option B)

an acceleration

Solution

We know that, real weight (W) = mg

Consider following cases of apparent weight of a man in moving downward,

(i) Moving with acceleration (w') = mg-ma = m (g - a) <mg

(ii) Moving with uniform speed (w') = mg-ma = mg - 0 mg

(iii) Moving with retardation  (w') = mg-m(-a )= m (g+a) >  mg

It is clear that apparent weight of is less than his real weight in case (i), when the lift is going down with an acceleration.

Hence, the correct option is (B).
