That depends on how far it is from the nearest planet. If it's on the surface of Earth, it weighs (19 kg) x (9.8 m/s^2) = 186.2 newtons.

Answer:

W = 186.2 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight is defined as the gravitational force on an object which are near the surface of Earth

So it is given by


F = mg

here we know that mass of the television is given as

m = 19 kg

so its weight is given by


W = mg


W = 19 * 9.8


W = 186.2 N
