Question
You are standing on a bathroom scale in an elevator in a tall building. Your mass is 64 kg. The elevator starts from rest and travels upward with a speed that varies with time according to v(t) = (3.0 m/s2)t + (0.20 m/s3)t2. When t = 4.0 s, what is the reading on the bathroom scale?

Answer:
= 922N
Explanation:
m = 64kg
v(t) = (3.0 m/s²)t + (0.20 m/s³)t².
t = 4.0s
differentiation of v(t) so the acceleration is given by
[tex]a(t) = \frac{ dv(t)}{dt} \\ = 3.0 + 0.4t\\ t = 4s\\a(4) = 3.0 + 0.4(4)\\= 4.6ms^-^2[/tex]
using Newton’s second law
F (net) = ΣFg = ma
⇒R – w = ma
R = m(a + g)
= 64 (9.81 + 4.6)
= 922N
