Answer:
The weight of the person has a smaller magnitude.
Explanation:
For an observer in inertial frame of reference for the person in the elevator Newton's Second Law can be written as
Normal reaction acts upwards
Weight acts downwards
[tex]\sum F_{v}=ma_{v}\\\\N-mg=m\times a_{v}\\\\m\times a_{v}> 0\\\\\therefore N-mg> 0\\\\\therefore N> mg[/tex]
Here
N is the normal reaction force
mg is the weight of the person
g is acceleration due to gravity
The weight of the person is defined as the product of mass and gravity. The weight of the person has a smaller magnitude than the normal force acting on that person.
The net force act on the body is the resultant of the forces acting in either x or y-direction.it is used to find force in the x and y direction when the force is act in two directions.
Given data in the problem;
N is the normal reaction force
mg is the weight of the person
g is the gravitational acceleration
The net force act in the verticle direction will be
[tex]\sum F_v=ma_v\\\\\sum F_v=N-mg\\\\N-mg=ma_v\\\\N-mg\geq 0\\\\ma_v\geq 0\\\\N\geq mg[/tex]
Hence the weight of the person has a smaller magnitude than the normal force acting on that person.
