9. A 100 kg man gets in an elevator on the 10th floor. He stands still on a scale, which is placed on the floor of the elevator, before the doors close, and the scale reads a value equal to his weight (the largest force of gravity on him). The doors close, and the elevator starts moving downward toward the 1st floor. The elevator speeds up until it reaches the 8th floor, at which point the elevator travels at a constant velocity, which it maintains until it reaches the 3rd floor, at which point it starts slowing down at a constant rate and stops by the time it reaches the 1st floor. Rank from greatest to least, the following quantities at following floors: 2nd, 5th, 9th. Explain your answers.
