Question

What is the weight of a ring tailed lemur that has a mass of 10 kg? Use w = mg (g = -9.8 m/s2)

Answer 1

Answer:

 Weight of the ring tailed lemur = 98 N towards center of earth.

Explanation:

  Weight of a body = Mass of the body x Acceleration due to gravity.

   Mass of the ring tailed lemur  = 10 kg

   Acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s²

  Weight of the ring tailed lemur =  mg = 10 x -9.8 = -98 N

  So, weight of the ring tailed lemur = 98 N towards center of earth.
