Question

A piano has a mass of 99 kg. What is the weight of the piano?

Answer 1

Answer:

$D.\ 970\ N$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Piano: 99kg

Required:

Calculate its weight

The weight of an object is calculate as thus;

$Weight = Mass\ (m) * Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity\ (g)$

$m = 99kg$ and $g = 9.8m/s^2$

The formula becomes

$Weight = 99kg * 9.8m/s^2$

$Weight = 970.2\ kgm/s^2$

$Weight = 970.2\ N$

$Weight = 970\ N$ Approximated

Hence, the weight of the piano is 970N
