Question

the weight (w) of an object is the product of its mass (m) in kilograms and g, the acceleration due to gravity in meters/second2. if the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters/second2, find the corresponding weights for these masses. mass in kilograms = {22.1, 33.5, 41.3, 59.2, 78} the weights (in newtons) for the given masses are .

Answer 1

W = m x g

1) m = 22.1 kg---> w = 22.1kg x 9.8 m/s^2 =216.58 N

2) m = 33.5 kg ---> x = 33.5 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 = 328.3 N

3) w = 41.4 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 = 405.72 N

4) w = 59.2 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 = 580.16 N

5) w = 78 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 = 764.4 N

Answer 2

You have all values that needed to solve the task. Just use the simple formula $w = m*g = kg* \frac{m}{s^2} = N$. As you see I also gave you the origin of Newton. I don't give you a direct answer because it will be more helpful if you understand it using given formula.
