Answer:

529.2N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the object = 54kg

Unknown:

Gravitational force acting on the mass = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, the gravitational force acting on this body is tantamount to the weight of the object.

So;

Weight = mg

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Now;

Weight = 54 x 9.8 = 529.2N

The gravitational force acting on the object is 529.2N
