Given that,
Mass of the monkey, m = 16.8 kg
The acceleration due to gravity on the Earth, g = 9.8 m/s²
To find,
The gravitational force acting on the monkey.
Solution,
Gravitational force acting on the monkey is equal to its weight. It is given by :
W = mg
Putting all the values,
W = 16.8 kg × 9.8 m/s²
= 164.64 N
Hence, the gravitational force acting on the monkey is 164.64 N.
