Given below are two statements: Statement I: An elevator can go up or down with uniform speed when its weight is balanced with the tension of its cable. Statement II: Force exerted by the floor of an elevator on the foot of a person standing on it is more than his/her weight when the elevator goes down with increasing speed. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Question

Given below are two statements: Statement I: An elevator can go up or down with uniform speed when its weight is balanced with the tension of its cable.

Statement-1 When elevator is moving with uniform speed T=Fg <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/57bb38b5ba775fab93d9f5179295f010-.png" /> Statement-2 When elevator is going down with increasing speed, its acceleration is downward. Hence

Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Both statement I and Statement II are false

Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Statement-1 When elevator is moving with uniform speed T=Fg​ Statement-2 When elevator is going down with increasing speed, its acceleration is downward. Hence

Statement-1
When elevator is moving with uniform speed $T = F_{g}$

Statement-2
When elevator is going down with increasing speed, its acceleration is downward.
Hence
