You are standing on a bathroom scale inside an elevator. Your weight (as measured on a bathroom scale under ordinary conditions) is 168.3 lb, but reading on the scale is 146.5 lb. What is the y-component of the acceleration?
E. Suppose you are standing on the scale in the elevator and the
elevator is accelerating downward with
an acceleration smaller than 9.8 m/s2
i. Draw free-body diagrams of yourself, the scale, and the floor
of the elevator where it interacts
with the scale.
ii. How must the magnitude of the force exerted by the scale on
you compare with your own
weight?
iii. How must the reading on the scale compare with the reading
you make when the elevator...
A woman stands on a bathroom scale in a motionless elevator. When the elevator begins to move, the scale briefly reads only 0.77 of her regular weight. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the elevator.

You are standing on a bathroom scale and you measure the weight to be 120 lb. You then take the scale onto an elevator and stand on the scale as the elevator accelerates, during which the reading on the scale decreases to 90 lb. Which of the following statements about the elevator could be true? A. The elevator is moving upward at 2 m/s while accelerating downward at 2.45 m/s^2. B. The elevator is moving downward at 4 m/s while...
3) A woman whose weight is 530N is standing at the end of a diving board of length 4 meters. The board itself has weight 300N, and is bolted to a platform on the opposite end and supported 1 meter from the bolted end by a fulcrum. a) Draw the free-body diagram for this situation. b) Find the forces exerted by the two points of support on the board (The bolts and the fulcrum).
Question 1 3 pt James weighs 81.0 kg. He is standing in an elevator on a scale. The elevator moving downward but slowing down (decelerating) with a magnitude of acceleration of 2.10 m/s2. What is the scale reading (in kg) during the motion of the elevator? (Round your answer to 3 significant figures)
5. A passenger of mass 85 kg is riding in an elevator while The scale only reads the normal force it exerts on the (Note that 1 b 0.453 kg 4.45 N) a) What standing on a platform scale. does the scale read in pounds (lb) when the elevator is not moving? elevator is moving upward with an acceleration of 3.5 m/s?? c) What does the scale read in pounds (b) when the elevator is same acceleration of 3.5 m/s??...
2. A man is standing on a scale that reads out his apparent weight in Newtons in an accelerating elevator. If the scale reads that he weighs 1200N while the elevator is accelerating and his mass is 79kg, what is the acceleration of the elevator? (Up is positive) a. 4.7 m/s b. -5.4 m/s c. +5.4 m/s? d. -9.8 m/s e. +4.7 m/s? f. O m/s2
Suppose Arturo is standing on a spring bathroom scale in an elevator, which is at rest, on the 15th floor. What is his acceleration? What forces are acting on him? What is the reading (in Newtons) on the bathroom scale if he has a mass of 150 kg? (Draw it out and Label it) Now imagine disaster - the rope holding the elevator snaps, there are no safety features, and the elevator plunges down the shaft in free fall. Herrera...
