Answer:
F = m*(g - a) →
a = g - F/m = 0.891 m/s² downward
Explanation:
If elevator was stationary, the normal force of elevator floor on man* would be = mg
mg = (38.5)(9.81) ≈ 378 N.
If elevator is accelerating downward the floor is accelerating away from man and so the normal force will be less than man's weight by: 378 - 343 = 35 N.
Hope this helps.
