Solving for weight and mass in kg in an elevator

[QUOTE="Delta2, post: 6234534, member: 189563"] You are correct so far. To convert the force to mass you just divide by g and thus you find what the scale reads in Kg. 1. IF we follow exactly the same route as your solution but replace the numbers in the end we' ll have $$F_n-mg=-m(0.2g)\Rightarrow F_n=mg-m(0.2g)=m(g-0.2g)$$ So it's a matter of algebra and replace the numbers in the end for why we have to just subtract 0.2g from g and multiply that by the mass m to find the normal force. 2.Because we have to divide the force by g to convert the force ##F_n## to the Kg scale .
