Question

A student of mass 72.7 kg is standing in an elevator that is near the surface of the Earth. The elevator is moving upward and slowing down with an acceleration of magnitude 2.80 m/s^2. What is the magnitude of the normal force on the person, in Newtons? Take g = 9.80 m/s^2 and state your answer to 0.1 N precision. Your Answer: 508.9 N Answer units
