Required information

You are designing a high-speed elevator for a new skyscraper. The elevator will have a mass limit of 2400 kg (including

passengers). For passenger comfort, you choose the maximum ascent speed to be 18.0 m/s, the maximum descent speed

to be 10.0 m/s, and the maximum acceleration magnitude to be 4.60 m/s². Ignore friction.

What is the minimum value of a 60.0-kg passenger's apparent weight during the ascent?
