Question

Find the mass of a compact automobile that weighs 7,006 N.

Answer 1

Given that the weight of the automobile is W = 7006 N

We have to find the mass of the automobile.

Let the mass of the automobile be m.

The formula to calculate the mass is

`\begin{gathered} W=mg \\ m=(W)/(g) \end{gathered}`

Here, g =9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity.

Substituting the values, the mass will be

`\begin{gathered} m=(7006)/(9.81) \\ =714.16\text{ kg} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the mass of the compact automobile is 714.16 kg.
