Question

A person with a mass of 98 kg sits on a chair. Acceleration due to gravity on the person is 9.8 m/s>2. With how much force does the chair push on the person? *

Answer 1

Answer:

Not sure but I think 600N(downwards)

Explanation:

600N(downwards)

Mas of the person = 60kg

Acceleration due to gravity = -10m/s²

To get the earths pull on the person, we will use the Newton second law of motion;

Force = mass * acceleration;

Force = 60 * -10

Force- -600N

Hence the earth gravitational pull on the person is 600N(downwards). It is downwards due to the negative sign.
