A student weight himself on the scale at rest in the elevator, at the third floor, the value was 670N, after that the student is riding down in the elevator to the first floor, if the scale shows his apparent weight of 630 N. What is the magnitude of the acceleration? O 0.51 m/s? O 0.59 m/s? O 0.66 m/s? O 0.73 m/s?
