it is a F = MA problem.

F = net force downwards = gravity force - tension

M = mass of lift + woman

A = acceleration downwards


F doesn't equal MA. It equals MA/sqrt(1-(v^2/c^2)), where c is the speed of light, as proven by Einstein.

For the sake of Mechanics 1, we do not consider the Lorentz factor :redface:

I am sure this will not annoy the examiners or appear obnoxious whatsoever when written on the paper :lol:
