A 42 kg person gets in 2,194 kg elevator at rest and stands on a bathroom scale. As the elevator accelerates upward at 3.4 m/s^2, what is the reading on the scale (in N)?
Reading = m (g + a)
W = 42 (9.8 + 3.4)
W = 554.4 N
Comment in case any doubt please rate my answer....

A 78 kg man stands on a bathroom scale at the center of an elevator. As the elevator accelerates from rest downwards to -11.4 m/s in 3.04 s, what is the scale reading in Newtons?
A 72 kg man stands on a bathroom scale in an elevator. Starting from rest at the top floor, the elevator descends, attaining its maximum speed of 1.20 m/s in 0.80 s. It travels with this constant speed for the next 5.00 s. The elevator then slows down for 1.50 s and comes to rest at ground level. a)What is the acceleration of the man during the first 0.80 s? Answer in units of m/s2 and use the upward direction...
A 75-kg person stands on a weight scale in an elevator and pushes the button to go up. The elevator accelerates upward at 3 m/s2, then rises at a steady speed of 15 m/s, and finally decelerates at the top floor at a rate of 2 m/s2. Match the force values to their descriptions. Some values may be used more than once, and some may not be used at all. 1. person's weight during upward acceleration 2. scale reading during...
a person stands on a scale inside an elevator at rest. The scale read 800 N. a) The elevator accelerates upward momentarily at the rate of 2 m/s2 . What does the scale read then? I am confused here. please give me a hand preferably with a free body diagram. I am bad at physics
A 73.0-kg person stands on a scale in an elevator. What does the scale read (in N) when the elevator is at rest? What does the scale read (in N) when the elevator is climbing at a constant speed of 3.0 m/s? What does the scale read (in N) when the elevator is descending at 3.0 m/s? What does the scale read (in N) when the elevator is accelerating upward at 2.4 m/s2 ? What does the scale read (in...
Chapter 4 Problem 42 A woman stands on a scale in a moving elevator. Her mass is 63.0 kg, and the combined mass of the elevator and scale is an additional 790 kg. Starting from rest, the elevator accelerates upward. During the acceleration, the hoisting cable applies a force of 9130 N. What does the scale read (in N) during the acceleration?
2. A person with mass m= 90 kg is standing on bathroom scales in an elevator that has an acceleration a = 2 m/s2 upward. What is the reading on the scales? (Ans.: 1060 N).
A 74.0 −kg person stands on a scale in an elevator. What does the scale read (in kg) when the elevator is accelerating upward at 3.2m/s^2? What does the scale read (in N) when the elevator is accelerating downward at 3.2m/s^2? What does the scale read (in kg) when the elevator is accelerating downward at 3.2m/s^2?
A person stands on a scale inside an elevator at rest and the scale reads 900 N. If the elevator moves upward at a constant speed of 3 m/s, what does the scale read then?
