Question

Given that the acceleration due to gravity is 10N/Kg, calculate the weight of the

Mass (Show all you're working)​

Answer 1

Weight = 500 Newton

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Acceleration due to gravity = 10N/Kg

Weight can be defined as the force acting on a body or an object as a result of gravity.

Mathematically, the weight of an object is given by the formula;

`Weight = mg`

Where;

• m is the mass of the object.
• g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Note: In order to calculate the weight of a mass, it's required that the mass of an object or body is given.

However, in this particular question it was omitted in error and as such i would assume a value.

• Let mass, m = 50 kg

Substituting into the formula, we have;

`Weight = 50 * 10`

Weight = 500 Newton
