4. A 75.0 kg man stands on a platform scale in an elevator. Starting from rest, the elevator ascends, attaining its
maximum speed of 1.20 ms-1 in 1.00 s. It travels with this constant speed for the next 10.00 s. The elevator
then undergoes a uniform acceleration in the negative y direction for 1.70 s and comes to rest. Take g = 10
ms-2. What does the scale register
(a) before the elevator starts to move? (12 marks)

5. A 2 Kg box is put on the surface of an inclined plane at 27 with the horizontal. The surface of the inclined
plane is assumed to be frictionless.
a) Draw a free body diagram of the box on the inclined plane and label all forces acting on the box. (6 marks)
b) Determine the magnitude of the force exerted by the inclined plane on the box. (9 marks)
