Question

What is the weight of a book that has a mass of 150kg

Answer 1

Given:

The mass of the book is m = 150 kg

The acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s^2.

To find the weight of the book

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight can be calculated by the formula

`W=\text{ mg}`

On substituting the values, the weight will be

`\begin{gathered} W=\text{ 150}*9.8 \\ =1470\text{ N} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the weight of the book is 1470 N
