Answer: 19,600 N

Weight is a force, and force equals mass times acceleration. So the formula for weight is w = m • g

Answer:

20000N

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight is the force that acts on a body due to the earth's gravitational field. It is the force exerted on a body due to gravity.

Mathematically;

Weight = mass× acceleration due to gravity.

Mass=2000Kg

Acceleration due to gravity=10ms-2

Weight= 2000×10=20000N

Note about acceleration due to gravity: The value stated above is its approximate value. Its real value varies with position on the earth's surface.
