(a) If you ride in an elevator moving upward with constant speed, is your apparent weight greater than, less than, or equalto your actual weight, mg? (b) Which of the following is the best explanation for your prediction?I. The elevator is moving upward. This will cause a person to press down harder on the floor, giving an apparent weightgreater than mg.II. The elevator moves with zero acceleration, and therefore the apparent weight is equal to mg.III. Because the elevator is moving upward it is partially lifting the person, resulting in an apparent weight less than mg

A decorative light fixture in an elevator includes a 1.7 kg light suspended by acable from the ceiling of the elevator. At the bottom of this light, a second cablesuspends another 0.40 kg light. The elevator is moving downward at 3.6 m/s whensomeone presses the emergency stop button. During the stop, the upper cablesnaps. The elevator engineer says that the cable could withstand a force of 40 Nwithout breaking. How long does it take for the elevator to stop?
