I am not sure what kind of answer you are looking for but the start of friendship.
Before you start working on any motion problem, YOU decide which direction you're going to call 'positive'. Everybody almost always calls UP positive, and the acceleration of gravity points down, so it winds up negative. But you could just as well call DOWN the positive direction. Then, the cannonball is fired with a negative vertical speed, and the acceleration of gravity eventually robs all of its negative speed, and makes it start falling in the positive direction. The whole thing is your choice.

Answer:
F_g = 372.78 N
Explanation:
Formula for force of gravity is;
F_g = mg
Where;
m is mass
g is acceleration due to gravity
We are given;
Mass = 38 kg
Acceleration due to gravity has a constant value of 9.81 m/s²
Thus;
F_g = 38 × 9.81
F_g = 372.78 N
