Answer:

2.79 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of an object is equal to the mass times the gravity.

In this case, we know that the mass is 284g = 0.284 kg, and the gravity is 9.81 m/s², so the weight is

W = mg

W = (0.284 kg)(9.81 m/s²)

W = 2.79 N

Therefore, the weight of the soccer ball is 2.79 N
