Emphasis Heading A 1. You have a set of scales in an elevator, and you are on the ground floor of a building. The scale reads "60 kg" when you stand on these scales. Note that somewhere in your solution, you must include an appropriate free body diagram (FBD) to explain what is happening. [16 marks (a) What are the scales actually measuring and displaying? Explain. [4 marks] (b) You stand on the scales and press the button for the 3rd floor. Describe qualitatively what will happen to the scale reading during your journey from the ground floor to the third floor, including an explanation of why this occurs. Note that there are 5 stages of motion for the elevator once you press the button. [6 marks] 1 (c) If the elevator can accelerate and decelerate) at 3.00 m/s2, what will be the scale read during the five different stages of your journey described in Part (b)? Show relevant analysis. Here you must solve NSL for each stage, although for all 5 stages of motion, there is only one relevant equation. [6 marks] 2. Perform an internet search, and see if you can find an acceptable value for the acceleration due to gravity; that is, what is "g"? Provide relevant context for your value. Write this information below, and include a reference to where you found it - use the recommended ECU Referencing format. [4 marks)
