Aroom is being accelerated through space at 7 m/s2 relative to the "fixed stars." it is far away from any massive objects. if a man weighs 500 n when he is at rest on earth, how much will he weigh in the room?

The man of mass m1 and the woman of mass m2 are standing on opposite ends of the platform of mass m0 which moves with negligible friction and is initially at rest with s = 0. the man and woman begin to approach each other. derive an expression for the displacement s of the platform when the two meet in terms of the displacement x1 of the man relative to the platform.
