Answer:

Weight of the dog, W = 118 N

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The mass of the weight, m = 12 kg

We need to find its weight. The weight of an object is given by the product of its mass and acceleration i.e.

W = mg

g is the acceleration due to gravity,
g=9.8\ m/s^2


W=12\ kg* 9.8\ m/s^2

W = 117.6 N

or

W = 118 N

So, the weight of the dog is 118 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
