Answer:

Force = mass times acceleration

Acceleration is change in velocity over time.

The elevator is moving at constant velocity. That means there is no net force on the elevator. Gravity is still acting on the elevator but the tension of cables, friction and other mechanism are cancelling out the acceleration due to gravity. The same as an elevator being held at a floor.

The normal force is the force exerted by surfaces the to stop you from passing through. It is perpendicular to the surface the object is on, in this case the 38.5kg person. It being an elevator I am assuming the floor is perpendicular to the force of gravity. Normal force is equal to the force being exerted on it, in this scenario the persons mass x acceleration due to gravity.

So your answer is 38.5kg x 9.81m/s^2 = 377.685N

Answer:

C)0.59 N

Explanation:

By the Achemides principle we know that the buoyancy force on an object which is immersed in a incompressible fluid at rest is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. So all we have to do is to find the mass of 60ml.

Density = mass / volume

Mass = density × volume

= 1 g/cm³× 60 cm³

{ as 1ml=1cm³}

= 60 g

So force equals to,

Force = weight = mass × gravitational acceleration

= 0.06×9.8 = 0.59 N
