Question

The force of gravity on Planet B is 3.4 m/sec2. A box weighs 34 N on Earth. What is the mass of the box?

a)3.47 kg
b)333.2 kg
c)115.6 kg
d)10 kg

Answer 1

The answer will be 3.47....Option "a".

Answer 2

The correct answer is option a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of an object is the force acting on an object by virtue of its mass.

Weight of box on earth , W= 34 N

Mass of the box = m

The force of gravity on Planet earth =
`g=9.8 m/s^2`

W = mg...[1]

`m=(W)/(g)=(34 N)/(9.8 m/s^2)=3.47 kg`

3.47 kilo gram is the mass of the box
