14. A student apparently weighs 180lb, in an elevator that is accelerating at the rate 5ft/s^2 upward. ( use acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s^2) A) what is the true weight of the student? B) what will be the apparent weight of the student when the elevator now decelerates at the rate of 2ft/s^2 upward? C) what should be the elevator's acceleration in order for the apparent weight of the student to be equal to 160lb?
