Question

A package was determined to have a mass of 5.7 kilograms. What's the force of gravity acting on the package on earth?

Answer 1

F=ma which is newtons second law. so we have here a=g in this situation and g=gravity and that equals 9.80m/s^2 on earth surface. So we have F=5.7kg*9.80m/s^2=55.9N or Newtons. Thank You! Please rate! 

Answer 2

Force of gravity, F = 55.86 N

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the package, m = 5.7 kg

We know that acceleration due to gravity on the earth is,
`a=g=9.8\ m/s^2`

Force of gravity acting on the package on the earth is given by :

`F=m* g`

`F=5.7\ kg* 9.8\ m/s^2`

`F=55.86\ N`

So, the force of gravity on the earth is 55.86 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
