Question

You walk into an elevator, step onto a scale, and push the "up" button. You also recall that your normal weight is 625 $\mathrm{N}$ . Start each of the following parts with a free-body diagram. (a) If the elevator has an acceleration of magnitude $2.50 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2},$ what does the scale read? (b) If you start holding a 3.85 kg package by a light vertical string, what will be the tension in this string once the elevator begins accelerating?
