$A$ spring balance is attached to the ceiling of a lift. $A$ man hangs his bag on the spring and the spring 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 .......... $N$.

  • A
    $49$
  • B
    $24$
  • C
    $74$
  • D
    $15$
