Question:
The apparent weight of a man in a lift is less than the real weight when:
The apparent weight of a man in a lift is less than the real weight when:
Show Hint
In a lift moving downward with acceleration, the apparent weight decreases as the downward force due to acceleration reduces the total normal force.
Updated On: Mar 29, 2025
- the lift is going up with an acceleration
- the lift is going down with uniform speed
- the lift is going up with uniform speed
- the lift is going down with an acceleration
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
When the lift is moving downward with acceleration, the apparent weight of a person becomes less than their real weight due to the opposing force from the downward movement.
