    A person is standing on a weighing-scale and observes that the reading is\[60\text{ }kg\]. He then suddenly jumps up and observes that reading goes to\[70\text{ }kg\]. Then his maximum upward acceleration is

    A)  zero               

    B) \[1.4\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    C) \[1.63\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}\]           

    D) \[9.8\text{ }m/{{s}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Initial reading of the machine is\[60\text{ }kg\]. Therefore, mass of the person,  \[m=60\text{ }kg\] Final reading is 70 kg. Thus, extra force applied on the person is \[\Delta F=(70-60)\times 98=98N\] Hence upward acceleration of the person is \[a=\frac{\Delta F}{m}=\frac{98}{60}=163\,\,\,m/{{s}^{2}}\]
