Question

The mass of an object is 10 kg. What is its weight on the earth? $g=9.8m/s^2$

Answer 1

Given data

Mass of the object, m = 10 kg.

Acceleration due to gravity, $g=9.8m/s^2$

Finding the weight of the object

We know that,

$Weight,W=mg$

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow W=10kg\times 9.8m/s^2 \\ \Rightarrow W=98N \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the weight of the object of mass 10 kg is 98 N.
