Question

What is the mass of a person who weighs 653 N at earths surface

Answer 1

66.6 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of a person at Earth's surface is given by

`W=mg`

where

m is the mass of the person

`g=9.8 m/s^2` is the acceleration of gravity

The person in the problem has a weight of

W = 653 N

Therefore, we can rearrange the equation to find his mass:

`m=(W)/(g)=(653)/(9.8)=66.6 kg`
