A person normally weighing 50 kg stands on a massless platform which oscillates up and down harmonically at a frequency of `2.0s^(-1)` and an amplitude 5.0 cm. A weighing machine on the platform gives the persons wieght against time. (a) Will there be any change in weight of the body, during the oscillation? (b) If answer to part (a) is yes, what will be the maximum and minimum reading in the machine and at which position?
