Answer:

Acceleration of the gravity at that location will be
a=11.711m/sec^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given mass of the television m = 7.08 kg

Force which scales measure F = 82.92 N

We have to find the acceleration

From newton's law we know that force is given by


F=ma

So
82.92=7.08* a


a=11.711m/sec^2

So acceleration of the gravity at that location will be
a=11.711m/sec^2
