Question

3. What is the weight of the potatoes of mass 75kg on the surface of earth?
Ans:

Answer 1

The weight of the potatoes is 735 Newtons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight can be determine, by means of the following equation.

`W = mg` (1)

Where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity

Therefore, equation 1 can be used:

`W = (75Kg)(9.8m/s^2)`

`W = 735Kg.m/s^2`

But 1N = 1Kg.m/s^2

`W = 735N`

Hence, the weight of the potatoes is 735 Newtons.
