Question

Find your mass if a scale on earth reads 650 N when you stand on it.

Answer 1

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) .

On Earth, acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² (rounded) .

                                                    650 N                 = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)

Divide each side by (9.8 m/s²):    650 N / 9.8 m/s² = mass

                                                     Mass = 66.3 kilograms (rounded)
