Solution

The correct option is B $500 N$
Option (b) is correct.

We know,

$W = m g$

where,

W $=$ Weight of the object,

$m =$ mass of object, and

$g =$ acceleration due to gravity

$g = \frac{F}{m}$

Given, $m = 1 k g$ and its weight, $W = 10 N$

$g = \frac{10 N}{1 k g} = 10 {N k g}^{- 1}$

If $m = 50 k g$ , its weight $W$ will be,

$W = m g$

$= 50 k g \times 10 {N k g}^{- 1}$

$= 500 N$
