Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$: An elevator can go up or down with uniform speed when its weight is balanced with the tension of its cable.
Statement-$II$: Force exerted by the floor of an elevator on the foot of a person standing on it is more than his/her weight when the elevator goes down with increasing speed.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both statement $I$ and statement $II$ are false
  • B
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
  • C
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
  • D
    Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true

The weight of a man in a stationary lift is $w_1$ and when it is moving downwards with uniform acceleration $a$ is $w_2$. If the ratio $w_1 : w_2 = 4 : 3$,then the value of $a$ is ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity).

The spring balance inside a lift suspends an object. As the lift begins to ascend,the reading indicated by the spring balance will

$A$ body of mass $2 \, kg$ is hung on a spring balance mounted vertically in a lift. If the lift descends with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity $g$,the reading on the spring balance will be ....... $kg$.

$A$ 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 $B$?

Find the apparent weight of a body of mass $1.0 \,kg$ falling with an acceleration of $10 \,ms^{-2}$. $\left(g \approx 10 \,ms^{-2}\right)$
