Explanation:
Apparent weight = m(g+a) = 60×(10+2) = 720 N, which corresponds to 72 kg mass on scale (if scale calibrated in kg under g=10). Reading 72 kg. Downward acceleration would reduce.
Explanation:
When an elevator moves downwards with acceleration 'a', the net downward force on the person is mg - R = ma, where R is the normal reaction (apparent weight). Solving for R gives R = m(g - a). Since g - a is less than g, the apparent weight (R) is less than the true weight (mg).
Explanation:
Electrostatic force acts between charges at a distance without contact. Gravity, magnetic force also non-contact. Friction and normal require contact.
