$A$ weight is suspended from the ceiling of a lift by a spring balance. When the lift is stationary,the spring balance reads $W$. If the lift suddenly falls freely under gravity,the reading on the spring balance will be

$A$ body of mass $2 \, kg$ is hung on a spring balance mounted vertically in a lift. If the lift descends with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity $g$,and if the lift moves up with a constant velocity of $2 \, m/s$,the reading on the balance will be ......... $kg$.

Imagine a person standing on a weighing machine placed inside an elevator. The elevator first accelerates, then moves with a constant velocity, and finally decelerates to stop. The maximum and minimum weight recorded are $80 \ kg$ and $64 \ kg$, respectively. Find out the true mass of that person considering $g = 10 \ m/s^2$. (in $kg$)

Two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected with a massless unstretched spring and placed over a plank moving with an acceleration '$a$' as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between the blocks and the platform is $\mu$.

$A$ child stands on a weighing machine inside a lift. When the lift is going down with acceleration $\frac{g}{3}$,the machine shows a reading $20 \ N$. When the lift goes upwards with acceleration $\frac{g}{3}$,the reading would be ($g=$ gravitational acceleration). (in $N$)
