    A barometer kept in a stationary elevator reads 76 cm. If the elevator starts accelerating up the reading will be

    A)            Zero                                         

    B)            Equal to 76 cm                     

    C)            More than 76 cm                

    D)            Less than 76 cm

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               \[h=\frac{P}{\rho g}\] \\[h\propto \frac{1}{g}\]. If lift moves upward with some acceleration then effective g increases. So the value of h decreases i.e. reading will be less than 76 cm.
