with an acceleration of 1.2 m/s², what is the
upward force exerted by the elevator floor on
the passenger?
Answer in units of N.

Explanation:

the earlier equation it was The weight of the passenger = W, Times the acceleration 1.2. And then added

The the weight of the passenger times I force of gravity.

W x 1.2= F1

W x 9.8= F2

F1+F2= Upward force

But now that the elevator is going down 1.2 is now negative, while 9.8 stays the same.

W x -1.2=-F1

W x 9.8=F2

-F1+F2=New Upward force.
