A woman stands on a scale while riding in an elevator. When the elevator is at rest, the scale reads 60kg. What will be the reading of the scale in kg when the elevator accelerates. (a) upward at 1.2 m/s^2. (b) downward at 1.2 m/s^2. (c) At what acceleration of the elevator would the person appear to be weightless?
