Calculate the mass of an object whose weight is 117.6 newton?

Open in App

Solution

1. Given data:
Weight of the object is $W = 117.6 N$
Acceleration due to gravity is $g = 9.8 m / s^{2}$
Mass of the object is $m = ?$
2. Calculating the mass:
Applying the formula of the weight,
$W e i g h t = m a s s \times a c c e l e r a t i o n d u e t o g r a v i t y W = m g$
$(117.6 N) = m \times (9.8 m / s^{2}) m = \frac{117.6 N}{9.8 m / s^{2}} = 12 k g$
Hence, the mass of the object is $12 k g$ .
