$A$ child stands on a weighing machine inside a lift. When the lift is going down with acceleration $\frac{g}{3}$,the machine shows a reading $20 \ N$. When the lift goes upwards with acceleration $\frac{g}{3}$,the reading would be ($g=$ gravitational acceleration). (in $N$)

$A$ block of mass $m$ is kept in an elevator which starts moving downward with an acceleration $a$ as shown in the figure. The block is observed by two observers $A$ and $B$ for a time interval $t_0$. The observer $B$ is on the ground (inertial frame). What is the work done by the pseudo force on the block as observed by observer $B$?

$A$ lift is moving downwards with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity. $A$ body of mass $m$ kept on the floor of the lift is pulled horizontally. If the coefficient of friction is $\mu$,then the frictional resistance offered by the body is:

$A$ spring balance is attached to the ceiling of a lift. $A$ man hangs his bag on the spring and the spring balance reads $49 \,N$, when the lift is stationary. If the lift moves downward with an acceleration of $5 \,m/s^2$, the reading of the spring balance will be $(g = 9.8 \,m/s^2)$. (in $\,N$)
