A stone resting on the ground and has gravitation of 20 Newton acting on it. What is the weight and what is the mass of the stone?

Open in App

Solution

Weight is the gravitational pull acting on the stone.
so weight= 20N
We know that,
$m a s s = \frac{W e i g h t}{A c c e l e r a t i o n d u e t o g r a v i t y}$
$m = \frac{20}{9.8}$
$m = 2.04 k g$
