    The weight of a 73 kg person is

    (73 kg) * (9.8 m/s²) = 715.4 N

    When the plane accelerates upward, the inertial force acting on the person

    (170 N) makes the person feel heavier.

    Therefore the airplanes upward acceleration, a, is given by

    (73 kg) * (a m/s²) = 170 N

    a = 2.3288 m/s²

    Answer: 2.329 m/s², upward.
