What is the weight of a passenger weighing 60 kg moving downward with an acceleration of 0.1 m / s ^ 2?

Task data: m (mass of the passenger under consideration) = 60 kg; a (acceleration modulus) = 0.1 m / s2; the passenger’s acceleration vector is downward.

Reference values: g (acceleration due to gravity) ≈ 9.8 m / s2.

The weight of a moving passenger is determined by the formula: P = m * (g – a).

Let’s make a calculation: P = 60 * (9.8 – 0.1) = 582 N.

Answer: The passenger in question will have a weight of 582 N.
