$A$ spring balance and a physical balance are kept in a lift. In these balances,equal masses are placed. If the lift starts moving upwards with constant acceleration,then:

  • A
    The reading of the spring balance will increase and the equilibrium position of the physical balance will be disturbed.
  • B
    The reading of the spring balance will remain unchanged and the physical balance will remain in equilibrium.
  • C
    The reading of the spring balance will decrease and the physical balance will remain in equilibrium.
  • D
    The reading of the spring balance will increase and the physical balance will remain in equilibrium.
