Answer:

F₁ = F₂

Explanation:

Given that

floor pushing up on you by force F₁

gravity pulling down by force F₂

From second law of Newton's

F₁ - F₂ = m a

But here given that ,elevator is moving with constant speed .It means that acceleration of the elevator is zero.

a= 0 m/s²

F₁ - F₂ = m x 0

F₁ = F₂
