A 50.0?? woman inside an elevator is standing on a scale. How will the acceleration of the elevator affect the scale reading? Calculate the scale reading when (a) the elevator is accelerating upward at ay=3.0 m/s2, (b) the elevator is going up with a constant velocity of vy=2.0 m/s, (c) the elevator is at rest, (d) the elevator is going down with acceleration ay=-3.0 m/s2, and (e) the elevator is going down with a constant velocity vy= -2.0 m/s

Q1/ A 50.0kg woman inside an elevator is standing on a scale.
How will the acceleration of the elevator affect the scale reading?
Calculate the scale reading when (a) the elevator is
accelerating upward at a,=3.0 m/s², (b) the elevator
is going up with a constant velocity of v,=2.0 m/s, (c)
the elevator is at rest, (d) the elevator is going down
with acceleration a,=-3.0 m/s², and (e) the elevator is
going down with a constant velocity v,= -2.0 m/s.
