riders on the power tower are launched skyward with an acceleration of 4.0g, after which they experience a period of free fall. what is a 60 kg rider's apparent weight during the period of free fall?

The rider's apparent weight during the period of free fall is equal to 0 N.What is weight?In physics, weight is a specific term that is defined to be the force of gravity exerted by an object. It is not the mass of the object. Since it is equal to the force of gravity, the equation for weight is W = mg where W represents the weight, m represents the mass and g represents the acceleration due to gravity.We are given that the rider's mass is 60 kg. If he were on a surface, his weight would be equal to 588 N. However, during the free fall his weight is zero because the force is not applying to any surface.
