Evaluate - if you put a scale in an elevator and weigh yourself as you ascend and the descend, does the scale have the same reading in both instances?

No, when ascending, you would weigh more, and when you descend, you weigh less.

This is due to the difference in the effect of gravity.

The elevator scale weighs more when you are ascending than when you are descending.

When a man is in an elevator moving upwards with acceleration a, he feels himself pressing downwards with a larger force than when the elevator was stationary. The scale in the elevator records a higher weight than his true weight.

On the other hand, when the elevator is descending, the apparent weight of the man will be less than his true weight and the scale on the elevator records a lesser weight.
