If a body of mass $m$ is carried by a lift moving with an upward acceleration $a$,then the forces acting on the body are:
$(i)$ The reaction $R$ on the floor of the lift acting upwards.
$(ii)$ The weight $mg$ of the body acting vertically downwards.
The equation of motion will be given by:

  • A
    $R = mg - ma$
  • B
    $R = mg + ma$
  • C
    $R = ma - mg$
  • D
    $R = mg \times ma$
