Answer: 735 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight
W is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object and is directly proportional to the product of the mass
m of the body by the acceleration of gravity
g:


W=m.g

In the case of our planet Earth, the acceleration due gravity is
g=9.8 m/s^(2). So for a man whose mass is
m=75 kg, his weight is:


W=(75 kg)(9.8 m/s^(2))


W=735 N
