Question

If my mass is 100,000g what is my weight on earth?

Answer 1

First, we must know this:

Weight is a kind of force, P = m x g

m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration of gravity

The unit of P in SI is N = kg m/(s)^2

Let's convert our mass in kg => 100,000 g = 100 kg

The acceleration of gravity = 9.8 m/(s)^2 (we assume this value)

Now, P = 100 kg x 9.8 m/(s)^2 = 980 N (newton)

Answer: 980 N
