Calculate the normal force, N, acting on a rider in an elevator if his mass is m=72.1 kg and the acceleration due to gravity g= 9.8m/s^2. The elevator has constant velocity. a) 0 N
b) 406 N
c) 707 N
d) 1008 N

Since, the elevator is moving with a constant velocity, therefore, the frame we are dealing with is an inertial frame and will not allow any pseudo force to act on it.

The Normal force, N will now be equal to the weight, W of the body which is the product of its mass and the acceleration acting on the body due to gravity and is given by:

[tex]F_{N}[/tex] = W = [tex]M\times g[/tex]

putting the values in the above formula

[tex]F_{N}[/tex] = [tex]72.1\times 9.8 = 706.58 N[/tex]

[tex]F_{N}[/tex] = 707 N (approx)
