Answer:

6.86 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

F = mg............... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted by gravity on the mass, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity

Note: The Force exerted by gravity on the mass is thesame as the weight of the body.

From the question,

Given: m = 700 g = (700/1000) = 0.7 kg

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = 9.8(0.7)

F = 6.86 N
