Meriam, Kraige & Bolton β Kinetics of Particles: Problem 3_5
3/5 A 60-kg woman holds a 9-kg package as she stands within an elevator which briefly accelerates upward at a rate of \( g/4 \). Determine the force \( R \) which the elevator floor exerts on her feet and the lifting force \( L \) which she exerts on the package during the acceleration interval. If the elevator support cables suddenly and completely fail, what values would \( R \) and \( L \) acquire?
