Question

A man pushes a 34 kg lawn mower using a handle inclined 45.0 ∘ from the horizontal. He pushes with 75 N directed along the handle. What is the mowers weight?

Answer 1

Answer:

333 N

Explanation:

The weight of an object is given by:

$W=mg$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

For the mower in the problem,

m = 34 kg

Also

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

So, the weight of the mower is

$W=(34)(9.8)=333 N$
