Question:
A boy of mass 50 kg is standing on a weighing machine placed at the floor of a lift. The machine reads his weight in newtons. What is the reading of the machine, if the lift is moving Upwards with a uniform Speed of $ 10\text{ }m{{s}^{-1}}. $ $ (g=10m{{s}^{-2}}) $

The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Given that mass of boy m = 50 kg Weighing machine is moving upwards with uniform speed, so acceleration of machine will be zero, a = 0. $ T-mg=ma $ $ T-50g=50\times a $ but $ a=0 $ $ T=50\,g $ $ T=50\times 10 $ $ T=500\,N $
