A body of mass $2\, kg$ is hung on a spring balance mounted vertically in a lift. If the lift descends with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity $‘g’$, the reading on the spring balance will be ....... $kg$

Reading on the spring balance $= m (g -a)$ and since $a = g$

$\therefore$ Force $= 0$
