Answer:

70kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Gravitational force = 700N

Unknown:

Mass of the person = ?

Solution:

The weight is gravitational force on the person and can be expressed as;

W = mg

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

So;

700 = m x 10

m = 70kg
