Answer:
(a) Weight
increases when object accelerates upward and weight decreases when object
accelerates downward. In this case, person will be accelerated up and down
during the oscillation of the platform. Hence, his weight will change during
the oscillation.
(a) Maximum
acceleration of the platform,
\[a=\,{{\omega
}^{2}}r\]
\[4{{\pi
}^{2}}\,{{v}^{2}}r=4\times \,{{(3.14)}^{2}}\times \,4\times 5\times
\,{{10}^{-2}}\]
\[=7.89\,m\,{{s}^{-2}}\]
\[\therefore
\] Maximum reading in
the machine (i.e., maximum weight)
\[=Mg+Ma=M(g+a)\]
\[=50(9.8+7.89)=884.5\text{
}N\]
Minimum
weight \[=M(g-a)\]
\[=50(9.8-7.89)=95.5\text{
}N\]
