    initial weight before moving on lift(m) =49 kg.

    We know as we move upwards increase in weight occurs i.e acceleration increase by (g+a).
    New weight (m1) = 69 kg.
    Time(t) =5 sec.
    Weight(W)= m(g+a) =m1 * g.
    49(9.81+a) =69*9.81.
    a=4m/sec2.
    We know v=u+at.
    u =0(as starts from rest).
    v = 4*5=20 m /sec2.
