Question

Acceleration due to gravity (g) is also known as the gravitational field strength and is the force that acts on amass of one kilogram at a point in gravitational field. So four points near and on the earth's surface, g=10Nkg-¹
To use above equation, mass must be expressed in kgs
1. What is the weight of a body whose mass is 250g?
2. What is the weight of abull of mass 180kg?​

  • Hello

    1) Weight = mass × gravity

    W = m × g

    i know g = 10N/kg and m = 250 g = 0,250kg

    so Weight = 10N/Kg × 0,250kg

    Weight = 2,50 N

    The Weight of a body whose mass is 250g is 2,50N

    2) Weight = mass × gravity

    W = m × g

    i know g = 10N/kg and m = 180 kg

    so Weight = 10N/Kg × 180kg

    Weight = 1800 N

    the weight of abull of mass 180kg is 1800 N

    Good day!
