the inside of the lift is air tight
the lift is in vacuum
the lift's acceleration is same as acceleration due to gravity
there is no gravitational pull on the man in the lift

The correct answer is **C. the lift's acceleration is the same as the acceleration due to gravity**. This is because when the lift is accelerating downwards with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity, the man inside would experience a state of free fall, making him feel weightless. This sensation occurs because the only force acting on the body is gravity, which is a non-contact force, and without any opposing force, one cannot feel their own weight. The other options do not accurately describe the situation that leads to the feeling of weightlessness in a descending lift.

This is wrong, the man only feels weightless and R is only equal to ma when the lift is falling freely, not when the lift is descending (check your physics textbooks). The answer is D

i think d is correct coz there is no effect of gravity upon the man in the life since he is going down ... my school pls i think we neede a proper explanation

you f**ls
the question says a man standing in a lift does not feel any weignt because?
THE MAN does not FEEL any WEGHT because there is no gravitational pull on him
now if u understand english well enough you will know that if the answer were c the question would have been something like
the reason a man does not feel any weight or experiences weightlesness is because ?..... u understand
now if u dont get it i am sorry for u u have to forget about it
