Pls ans the question ASAP
Dear Student,
Given, the mass of the student, M = 80 kg.
For a weighing machine at rest, the weight of any body of mass M would be:
W = Mg
The weighing machine is kept on a platform which is going down the slope with an acceleration a (say).
The component of acceleration of the platform vertically downwards is
As the platform is accelerating down the incline, the net acceleration relative to the platform acting on the person on the balance is
Thus, the weight of the student recorded by the weighing balance relative to the accelerating platform is
Regards
