The elevator accelerates upward at an acceleration, then the magnitude of the force is 148.84 N.
The force is the action of push or pull which makes an object to move or stop.
Given the mass of child m =13.9 kg, acceleration a =0.898 m/s², then the force will be given by
F = m(g-a)
F = 13.9 x (9.81 - (-0.898))
F = 148.84 N
Thus, the magnitude of the force is 148.84 N.
