Answer:
The phrasing of the question is weird, but the mass should not change. The scale may read higher for a moment, but once the mass is brought up to the same velocity of the elevator, it should settle back to 100.
I think the answer might be c
Answer:
Replace l with 110 and w with 120
P = 2(110) + 2(120)
P = 220 + 240
P = 460 feet
One
The sum of two rational numbers is always rational. sqrt(9) + sqrt(25) = 3 + 5 which is rational. sqrt(16/100) = 4/10 = 2/5 is also rational. 3/28 is rational as well.
Two
Those are irrational. sqrt(10) + pi = ???? You cannot reduce this to any kind of fraction. Two irrationals always give a rational.
Three
The irrational number controls the answer. 10 + sqrt(5) is irrational. The 10 is OK. It is raional, but sqrt(5) is not a rational number.
