Question

Weight of a box is 49 Newton. Calculate the mass of the box?

Answer 1

Step1: Given data

Weight of the box (W) = 49 N.

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = $9.8m/s^2$.

Mass of the box (m) = ?

Step 2. Formula used

$$\begin{gathered} Weight=mass\times gravity \\ W=mg \end{gathered}$$

Step 3. Finding the mass of the box

On, applying the formula of weight,

$W=mg$

$$\begin{gathered} 49N=m\times 9.8m/s^2 \\ m=\frac{49}{9.8}=5kg \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the mass of the object is 5 Kg.
