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}

Answer 1

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. It is expressed as:

W = mg

The answers are as follows:


W = 22.1 kg(9.8 meters/second2) = 216.58 N

W =  33.5 kg(9.8 meters/second2) =328.3 N


W =  41.3 kg(9.8 meters/second2) = 404.74 N


W =  59.2 kg (9.8 meters/second2) = 580.16 N


W =  78 kg (9.8 meters/second2) = 764.4 N
