A man of mass 70 kg stands on the floor of an elevator. Find the force of reaction he experiences from the elevator floor when the elevator: a) is standing still b) moves up at a constant speed of 3 m/s c) moves up with an acceleration of 4.0 m/s^2 d) moves down with an acceleration of 4.0 m/s^2 e) moves down, slowing down with a deceleration of 4.0 m/s^2
