$A$ block of mass $m$ is kept in an elevator which starts moving downward with an acceleration $a$ as shown in the figure. The block is observed by two observers $A$ and $B$ for a time interval $t_0$. The observer $B$ is on the ground (inertial frame). What is the work done by the pseudo force on the block as observed by observer $B$?

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $-ma^2t_0$
  • C
    $+ma^2t_0$
  • D
    $-mgat_0$
