Answer:
578.2 N
Explanation:
The computation of reading on the scale is shown below:-
Data provided in the question
Weight of a girl = 59 kg
Constant rate = 8 m/s
Since the elevator is descended so the acceleration is zero
As we know that
Reading on the scale is
[tex]F = m\times g[/tex]
where, m = 59 kg
g [tex]= 59 \times 9.8 m/s^2[/tex]
So, the reading on the scale is
= 578.2 N
Therefore for computing the reading on the scale we simply applied the above formula.
