As we have learned

Lift is at Rest -

V=0,\:a=0

R-mg=0

R=mg

- wherein

use

F_{net}=m\vec{a}
 

Apparent \:weight=Actual\:weight
 

 

 

 At stationary lift 

R_1 = mg

At lift accelerated downwards with a 

mg - R = ma \\ R_2 = mg -ma \Rightarrow m (g-a )

Given \frac{R_1}{R_2}= \frac{3}{2} = \frac{mg}{m(g-a)}

\frac{g}{(g-a)} =\frac{3}{2}\Rightarrow 2 g = 3g -3a \\

or 

a = g/3
