Answer:


88.38 Kgm/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass and weight are quite different terms .

Weight is defined as the amount of force exerted on the earth due to our mass and gravity of acceleration.


W=m*g

Given that the mass is 90 kg and gravity of acceleration of earth is 9.82 m/s^2.

So weight will be


W=90*9.82\\\\ W=88.38 Kgm/s^2

So this is the weight of the 90kg man standing on earth.
