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 FN,1-3 acting on the rider if his mass is m = 78.1 kg and the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s² .

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 FN1-3 acting on the rider if his
mass is m = 78.1 kg and the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s?.
In scenario 1, the elevator has constant velocity.
FNJ =
N
Constant velocity
Scenario 1
In scenario 2, the elevator is moving with upward
acceleration a2 = 5.51 m/s?.
FN2 =
N
Scenario 2
In scenario 3, the cable breaks and the elevator accelerates
downward at az = g = 9.81 m/s?.
FN3 =
N
