7.Gravitation
easy
A weight is suspended from the ceiling of a lift by a spring balance. When the lift is stationary the spring balance reads $W$. If the lift suddenly falls freely under gravity, the reading on the spring balance will be
A
$W$
B
$2 W$
C
$W/2$
D
$0$
Solution
(d) Reading of spring balance $R = m(g – a)$
If the lift falls freely then $a = g \therefore R = 0$
