A spring balance is attached to the ceiling of a lift. When the lift is at rest spring balance reads 49 N of a body hang on it. If the lift moves : (i) Downward (ii) upward, with an acceleration of 5 ms⁻² (iii) with a constant velocity. What will be the reading of the balance in each case?

  1. (i) R = m (g – a)
    weight = 49 N
    so m = 49/9.8 = 5kg
    R = 5 (9·8 – 5)
    R = 24N

    (ii) R = m (g + a)
    R = 5 (9·8 + 5)
    R = 74 N

    (iii) as a = 0 so R = mg = 49N
