Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

where W-weight, m-mass of the object and g-acceleration produced due to the earth's gravity. ... This happens because the normal reaction force exerted on the object in the lift is equal to zero, and normal force equals to mg, which in turn equals the weight of the object.
