Reference no: EM13498808

A 518- physics student stands on a bathroom scale in an 846- (including the student) elevator that is supported by a cable. As the elevator starts moving, the scale reads 464.

(A) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the elevator.

(B) Find the direction of the acceleration of the elevator.(upwards or downwards )

(D) If the scale reads zero, should the student worry? Explain. Essay answers are limited to about 500 words (3800 characters maximum, including spaces).
