Calculate the apparent weight of a person in an accelerating elevator. When the elevator accelerates upward, the apparent weight increases; when accelerating downward, it decreases.
Enter your values below
Mass of the person in the elevator
Positive = upward, negative = downward
Default is 9.81 m/s²
How this calculator works
Apparent weight equals mass times the sum of gravitational acceleration and elevator acceleration (positive for upward).
