Question

What is the weight of a block of mass$10.5\mathrm{k}\mathrm{g}$? Take $g=10\mathrm{m}{\mathrm{s}}^{-2}$

Answer 1

Step 1 Given,

1. Mass, m = $10.5\mathrm{k}\mathrm{g}$
2. Acceleration due to gravity, $g=10\mathrm{m}{\mathrm{s}}^{-2}$

Step 2 Formula Used,

Weight, $W=mg$

Step 3 Solution,

$$\begin{gathered} W=10.5\times 10 \\ W\hspace{0.17em}=105N \end{gathered}$$

Weight of the body = 105 N
