Answer:
The scale will show only the effect of the acceleration due to gravity on the man
Explanation:
When an elevator is accelerating up the resultant weight of the person is
[tex]W=m(g+a)[/tex]
where,
g = Acceleration due to gravity
a = Acceleration of the elevator
Acceleration is given by the rate of change of velocity. Here, the elevator is moving up at a constant speed, this means there is no acceleration.
So, a=0
[tex]\\\RightarrowW=m(g+0)\\\Rightarrow W=mg[/tex]
The scale will show only the effect of the acceleration due to gravity on the man.
