the apparent weight of a man in a lift is less tha
Question:
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.

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.
