Question

A physics text book has a mass of 2.2kg What is the weight on the earth

Answer 1

Given data

*The given mass of the physics textbook is m = 2.2 kg

*The value of the acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s^2

The formula for the weight of the book on the earth is given as

`W=mg`

Substitute the known values in the above expression as

`\begin{gathered} W=(2.2)(9.8) \\ =21.56\text{ N} \end{gathered}`
