18. A scale in the elevator's floor measures the weight of the passengers, and it has the correct value when the elevator is not moving. The combined mass of the passengers is 572 kg. What will the scale read if.. c) the elevator is accelerating down at a constant rate of 1.5 m/s? (This is asking for the solution to 18c in the worksheet.) Your answer: O 860 N O 4700 N O 5600 N O 6500 N
