The first: alright, first: you draw the person in the elevator, then draw a red arrow, pointing downwards, beginning from his center of mass. This arrow is representing the gravitational force, Fg.
You can always calculate this right away, if you know his mass, by multiplying his weight in kg by the gravitational constant
let's do it for this case:
the unit of your fg will be in Newton [N]
so, first step solved, Fg is 637.65N
Fg is a field force by the way, and at the same time, the elevator is pushing up on him with 637.65N, so you draw another arrow pointing upwards, ending at the tip of the downwards arrow.
now let's calculate the force of the elevator
so you draw another arrow which is pointing downwards on him, because the elevator is accelating him upwards, making him heavier
the elevator force in this case is a contact force, because it only comes to existence while the two are touching, while Fg is the same everywhere

The period of the orbit would increase as well
Explanation:
We can answer this question by applying Kepler's third law, which states that:
"The square of the orbital period of a planet around the Sun is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit"
Mathematically,
Where
T is the orbital period
a is the semi-major axis of the orbit
In this problem, the question asks what happens if the distance of the Earth from the Sun increases. Increasing this distance means increasing the semi-major axis of the orbit, : but as we saw from the previous equation, the orbital period of the Earth is proportional to
, therefore as
increases, T increases as well.
Therefore, the period of the orbit would increase.
