    A person is standing on a weighing-scale and observes that the reading is 60 kg. He then suddenly jumps up and observes that reading goes to 70 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 kg- Therefore, mass of the person, m = 60 kg Final reading is 70 kg. Thus, extra force applied on the person is \[\Delta F=(70-60)\times 98=98\,N\] Hence, upward acceleration of the person is \[a=\frac{\Delta F}{m}=\frac{98}{60}=1.63\,m/{{s}^{2}}\]
