Question

Calculate the force required to lift an object of mass $10\mathrm{kg}$.

Answer 1

Step 1: Given data:

To lift an object of mass (m) is $10\mathrm{kg}$

Step 2: Formula used:

$\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{mg}$

$\mathrm{F}$is force.

$\mathrm{m}$ is the mass of the object.

$\mathrm{g}$ is the acceleration due to gravity.

$\mathrm{g}=9.8\mathrm{m}/{\mathrm{s}}^2$

Step 3: Calculate the force required to lift an object:

By substituting the values in the above formula, we get

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{F}=10\times 9.8 \\ =98\mathrm{N} \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the force required to lift an object is $98\mathrm{N}$.
