6. A person who weighs 600 N is standing on a scale in an elevator. The elevator is

identical in both cases. In both cases the elevator is moving downward, but in Case A it

    Option A, greater in case A

    Explanation:

    Case A

    N-W=ma

    N=W+ma

    Where a is acceleration, m is mass, W is weight

    Case B

    W-n=ma

    N=W-ma

    Therefore, the reading is greater in case A
