Answer:

19.6 kg*m/s^2 = 19.6 N

Explanation:

Weight is mass times acceleration due to gravity. And hopefully you know that acceleration due to gravity on earth is 9.8 m/s^2 So what is half of that? 4.9. So now the calculation is super simple.

mass = 4 kg and acceleration = 4.9 m/s^2 so now we multiply these two numbers and get 19.6 kg*m/s^2. kg*m/s^2 is also known as Newtons, abbreviated with an N so the final result is 19.6 N.
