Open in App
Solution

Answer:

Well, on what planet is it on? What gravitational force is being exerted on it?

Explanation:

It depends totally on the value of the gravitational acceleration, g.

On Earth, it is around 10 m/s^2. (according to Question)

We know the formula for weight

Weight= mass * acceleration due to gravity

i. e W=m*g

So, an object on Earth with a mass of 2.2 kg would
weight =2.2 kg*10 m/s^2=22 N.
