What would happen to the weight of a body in a lift moving upward with uniform speed?

A Apparent weight is more than the true weight Correct Incorrect

B Apparent weight is less than the true weight Correct Incorrect

C Apparent weight is equal to the true weight Correct Incorrect

D Apparent weight becomes Zero in such situation Correct Incorrect

E Apparent weight would be double the true weight Correct Incorrect

Detailed Solution

Weight of a body depends on the force of gravity acting upon it. In a lift stationary or moving with uniform speed (not with acceleration) the apparent weight of body is equal to its true weight. Because here the weight will be calculated as. m{g-(a)}, where m is the mass of body g is the acceleration produced due to force of gravity which is 9.8m/s² and a would be the acceleration due to the movement of lift. With uniform speed movement, the acceleration due to lift would be 0 here. Hence , option C is correct.
