Question

You work at a garden store for the summer, and you lift a 14 kg bag of fertilizer with a force of 227 N.

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Acceleration of the bag will be a=16.214m/sec^2  

(B) Weight of the bag will be 137.2 N

Explanation:

We have given mass of the bag m = 14 kg

Force with which bag is lifted = 227 N

(A) According to newtons law we force is equal to F = ma , here m is mass and a is acceleration

So $227=14\times a$

$a=16.214m/sec^2$

(b) Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

We know that weight is given by W = mg , here m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

So weight $W=mg=14\times 9.8=137.2N$

So weight of the bag will be 137.2 N
