Question

Write an equation to help Stacy find the gravitational force on an object if she knows the mass. In the equation, let W represent gravitational force, m represent mass, and g represent the ratio you found in part D. Test your equation using a set of values from the table to be sure it works.

Answer 1

The last column of the table gives this relationship:

w/m = g

Rewrite the equation to solve for W: W = m × g.

For one washer, the table shows a mass of 0.6 kilograms, a force of 5.9 newtons, and an acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 N/kg. The equation works correctly for these values and for the other values in the table:

W = m × g = 0.6 kg × 9.8 N/kg 5.9 N.
