Question

If your mass is 20kg, and you stand on the scale (witch is your force), and the acceleration due to gravity is10m/s^2, what does the scale says your weight is?

Answer 1

`\Huge \boxed{\mathrm{200 \ N}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

`\sf Weight \ (N)= mass \ (kg) * acceleration \ of \ gravity \ (m/s^2)`

`W=mg`

Your mass is 20 kg.

The acceleration of gravity is approximately 10 m/s².

`W=20 * 10`

`W=200`

Your weight is 200 N.

Answer 2

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

= 200 Newtons.

(About 44 pounds. You're very skinny.)
