A) The person's apparent weight as measured by the scale is the same as measured when the elevator is stationary. B) The person's apparent weight as measured by the scale is greater than that measured when the elevator is stationary. C) The person's apparent weight as measured by the scale is less than than that measured when the elevator is stationary.

For the woman being pulled forward on the toboggan in Figure 4.33, is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the ground on the toboggan (a) equal to the total weight of the woman plus the toboggan, (b) greater than the total weight, (c) less than the total weight, or (d) possibly greater than or less than the total weight, depending on the size of the weight relative to the tension in the rope?
A man inside the elevator stands in a weighing scale, mass = 100 kg. What will be its apparent weight if the elevator is accelerating upward with a magnitude of 8 m/s2.
Consider a person standing on a scale in an elevator. If the elevator accelerates upwards with an acceleration of 1.47 m/s2 and the person has a mass of 98.1 kg, what would the scale read? HINT: you need to take into account the acceleration due to gravity, as well as that of the elevator.
