a standard bathroom scale is placed on an elevator. A 34 kg boy enters the elevator on the first floor and steps on the scale. What will the scale read (in newtons) when the elevator begins to accelerate upward at 0.4 m/s2

F = 255 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the boy, m = 25 kg

Acceleration of the elevator,  

The elevator is accelerating in upward direction. The net force acting on the boy is given by :

g is the acceleration due to gravity

F = 255 N

The scale reading is 255 N as it begins to accelerate upward. hence, this is the required solution.

you go to your settings preference and in the end youll see sth that says "i want to delete my acc" click on it and u'll acc will be deleted but u have to wait.
