A person is standing in an elevator. In which situation does he experience weight loss?
Answer: (B) When the elevator moves downward with constant acceleration
Apparent weight $N = m(g - a)$ when the lift accelerates downward, which is less than $mg$. With uniform velocity $N = mg$, and with upward acceleration $N = m(g + a) > mg$.
