A person of mass mp stands on a scale in an elevator of mass me. The scale reads the magnitude of the force F exerted on it from above in a downward direction Starting at rest at t = 0 the elevator moves upward, coming to rest again at time t = to. The downward acceleration of
gravity is g The acceleration of the elevator during this period is shown graphically below
