Question

In an earlier step, an FBD was created for the bottom-most block under the assumption of equilibrium. Which statement best describes the modifications necessary if that FBD is redrawn under the assumption ay<0? 

The weight vector labeled F g,1 would be unchanged. The normal-force vector labeled Fn,f→1 would become shorter, but the normal-force vector labeled Fn,2→1 would become shorter by a greater amount. 
 The weight vector labeled F g,1 would change length, becoming shorter, but the normal-force vectors would be unchanged. 
 The diagram requires no changes because all of the forces remain the same. 
 The weight vector labeled Fg,1 and the normal-force vector labeled Fn,2→1 would be unchanged, but the normal-force vector labeled Fn,f→1 would become shorter. 
 Because things feel partially weightless in the elevator, all three vectors would be shorter. 
 The weight vector labeled Fg,1 would be unchanged. The normal-force vector labeled Fn,2→1 would become longer, but the normal-force vector labeled Fn,f→1 would become shorter. 
 The weight vector labeled Fg,1 would be unchanged. The normal-force vector labeled Fn,2→1 would become shorter, but the normal-force vector labeled Fn,f→1 would become shorter by a greater amount.
