Question

The actual ratio of weight to mass on earth is 9:8 N:1 kg what is the weight on earth of

an object whose mass is 2 kg

Answer 1

The object weighs 19.6 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight

It's the force exerted on a body by gravity.

This is often expressed in the formula

W = mg

Where

W = weight

m = mass of the object

g = gravitational acceleration

The ratio of weight to mass on Earth is 9.8 N: 1 kg. This gives us the value of
`g=9.8 \ m/s^2`.

An object with a mass of m = 2 kg has a weight of:

`W = 2\ Kg *9.8 \ m/s^2`

W = 19.6 N

The object weighs 19.6 N
