Formula and methodology
Formula: Apparent weight N = m(g+a), with upward acceleration positive.
The result is the ideal normal force required for vertical acceleration, not the object’s gravitational mass.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Mass — kg; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000
- Elevator acceleration upward positive — m/s²; minimum -1000; maximum 1000
- Gravitational acceleration — m/s²; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Mass | 70 |
| Elevator acceleration upward positive | 1.5 |
| Gravitational acceleration | 9.80665 |
Apparent weight = 791.466 N.
Assumptions and limits
- Mass and accelerations use SI units; upward acceleration is positive.
- The object remains in contact with the floor and the elevator acceleration is uniform.
- Cable dynamics, impacts, horizontal motion, vibration, and safety limits are not modeled.
