Thanks for the help !

fn =85kg (-1.85 m/s^2 +9.81m/s^2) = 676 N fn = 85kg ( 1.6m/s^2 + 9.81m/s^2) = 969.85 N Is this correct?

So fn=85.0kg ( -1.85m/s^2 +(-9.81m/s^2) =-991.1N fn=85.0kg (-1.60 m/s^2 + (-9.81 m/s^2) = -969.85N Is this correct?

Homework Statement A man with a mass of 85.0 kg rides downward on an elevator.Initially the elevator accelerates downwards at 1.845 m/s^2 and eventually slows at 1.60 m/s^2 as it reaches the ground floor. Find the mans apparent weight as he starts down and as he reaches the ground floor...
