Answer:926N

Step-by-step explanation:

Force=926N.

The units of force are in N (Newtons). The units of weight are in Kg (Kilograms)

Force = Mass * Acceleration

On the surface of the Earth, the acceleration would be gravity, 9.81m/s²

If calculating mass...

F=mg

926N=m(9.81m/s²)

m=94.393476kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The force of gravity on a woman who weighs 926 N on the surface of the earth is 926 N. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object due to gravity, and is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. On the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.
