The apparent weight of an object increases in an elevator


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 299 People


e apparent weight of an object increases in an elevator while accelerating upward. A moongfaliwala sells his moongfali using a beam balance in an elevator. Will he gain more if the elevator is accelerating up ? 

Answered by admin @



The answer to this question might be No as the beam balance has 2 side..so the other side will also increase and hence the beam balance will measure the same weight
