Weight of nothing in an elevator (Posted on 2018-09-06)

Take an electronic kitchen scale, a scale with a spring dial, and a balance scale into an elevator.

Put nothing on them. Indeed, press the tare button, or adjust them so that they all read zero.

When the elevator accelerates upwards, what happens?
