Estimate what does the scale read during the acceleration

Reference no: EM13710544

Problem: A woman stands on a scale in a moving elevator. Her mass is 59.0 kg, and the combined mass of the elevator and scale is an additional 815 kg. Starting from rest, the elevator accelerates upward. During the acceleration, the hoisting cable applies a force of 9460 N.

Part A: What does the scale read during the acceleration?

Don't just give me the answer, explain your steps as well.
