Question

If the mass of your father is 70kg, what is his weight (N)?

Answer 1

Answer: 686 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Second Newton's law is: F=m*a, where F is force, m is mass, and a acceleration

On the Earth's surface, weight is the gravity force W=m*g, where g=9.8 m/s² is the acceleretion of gravity on Earth. So the weight of someone with mass m=70 kg is W=70*9.8 kg*m/s² = 686 N.

The unit N (Newton) is defined as 1 N = 1 kg*m/s²
