Question

Given below are two statements:

Statement$-I :$ An elevator can go up or down with uniform speed when its weight is balanced with the tension of its cable.

Statement$-II :$ Force exerted by the floor of an elevator on the foot of a person standing on it is more than his/her weight when the elevator goes down with increasing speed.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

✓

Answer

When elevator is moving with uniform speed $T = F _{ g }$

Statement$-2$

When elevator is going down with increasing speed, its acceleration is downward.

Hence

$W - N =\frac{ W }{ g } \times a$

$N = W \left(1-\frac{ a }{ g }\right) \text { i.e. less than weight. }$
