Question

If a person climbed Mt. Everest has a mass of 105 kg and a weight of 625 N what would be the acceleration due to gravity?

Answer 1

The acceleration due to gravity would be 5.95 m/s²

A force is known to be a push or pull and it is the change in momentum per time. It can be expressed by using the relation.

• Force = mass × acceleration.

From the parameters given:

• Mass = 105 kg
• Force = 625 N

By replacing the given values into the above equation, we can determine the acceleration.

∴

625 N = 105 kg × acceleration.

$\mathbf{acceleration = \dfrac{625 \ N}{105 \ kg}}$

acceleration = 5.95 N/kg

• Since 1 N/kg = 1 m/²

acceleration = 5.95 m/s²
