A simple elevator ride can teach you quite a bit about the normal force. There are three different scenarios given detailing the rider's experience in an unnamed hotel. For each scenario, calculate the normal force ?N,1–3 acting on the rider if his mass is ?=72.1 kg and the acceleration due to gravity ?=9.81 m/s2
