The weight of a person in an elevator at rest = 500 N. Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2. When lift accelerated, the tension force is 750 N. What is the acceleration of lift.

If the elevator accelerated downward then the tension force smallest then 500 N. Otherwise, if the elevator accelerated upward then the tension force larger then 500 N.

The tension force = 750 N because the elevator accelerated upward. Force acts upward has plus sign and force acts downward has minus sign.

T – w = m a

750 – 500 = 50 a

250 = 50 a

a = 250 / 50

a = 5.0 m s–2

it is given that trillions of microbes make up to 1% to 3% of the body mass.

let's take average of this percentage: 2%

consider the average mass of the human body as 70 kg.

then, trillions of microbes would have mass  

therefore, 100 trillion micro-organisms would weigh:

this is an approximate value and could change depending on the mass of the human body and percentage of the microbes present in it.

average mass per microorganism =
