Answer:


D.\ 970\ N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of Piano: 99kg

Required:

Calculate its weight

The weight of an object is calculate as thus;


Weight = Mass\ (m) * Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity\ (g)


m = 99kg and
g = 9.8m/s^2

The formula becomes


Weight = 99kg * 9.8m/s^2


Weight = 970.2\ kgm/s^2


Weight = 970.2\ N


Weight = 970\ N Approximated

Hence, the weight of the piano is 970N
