Question

If a piece of ice weighs 36.0 NN at the surface of the earth, what is its mass on the earth's surface?

Answer 1

3.67 kilograms is the mass of a given ice on the earth's surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of an object is the force acting on an object by virtue of its mass.

Weight(W)=
`mass(m)* acceleration(a)`

We have :

Mass of an ice = m =?

Acceleration due to gravity ,a =
`9.8m/s^2`

Weight of an ice , W= 36.0 N

Putting in the values we get,

`36.0 N=m* 9.8 g/m^2`

`m=(36.0 N)/(9.8 m/s^2)=3.67 kg`

3.67 kilograms is the mass of a given ice on the earth's surface.
