This is a really fun probl, I've been trying to get for a while:
A 600 N man stands on a bathroom scale on elevator. After, it starts moving the scale reads 900 N.
Find Acceleration (magnitude/direction)
EF = ma
weight - T = ma
wt - T = ma
(600 N)(9.8 m/sec2) - T = ma
i noticed i didn't have accleration,
Ft - meg = meae = -mea
900-600/900+600 = (1/5)g(9.8)
i got 1.96 m/sec2
does this seem right?
