Question

You place a 7.08 kg television set on a spring scale. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . If the scale reads 82.92 N, what is the acceleration of gravity at that location? Answer in units of m/s 2 .

Answer 1

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`
