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 $‘g’$,  if the lift moves up with a constant velocity of $2 \,m/sec$, the reading on the balance will be ......... $kg$

The lift is not accelerated, hence the reading of the balance will be equal to the true weight.

$R = mg = 2g\, N$ or $2 \,kg$
