Question

An animal has a weight of 3,000 N. what is its mass

Answer 1

The correct answer is: mass of an animal = 306.12 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight = W = 3000N

Mass = m = ?

We can use the equation of weight to find the mass of the animal, which is:

weight = mass * acceleration-due-to-gravity

W = m * g --- (A)

Where,

acceleration-due-to-gravity = g = 9.8
`(m)/(s^2)`

Plug in the value in equation (A) in order to find the mass (m):

(A) => 3000 = m * 9.8

`m = (3000)/(9.8)`

m = mass of an animal = 306.12 kg
