Answer:
The upward force on the man is 980 N
Solution:
As per the question:
Weight of the body, W = 140 kg
The acceleration of man, [tex]a_{m} = 6g[/tex]
Now, from fig. 1:
N - W = M[tex]a_{m}[/tex]
where
N = normal or the upward force on man
Now,
N = M[tex]a_{m}[/tex] + W
N = M(6g) + Mg = 7Mg = [tex]7times 140 = 980 N[/tex]
