Question

Calculate: An object’s weight is determined by its mass (m) and the acceleration due to gravity (g) affecting that object: w = mg. On Earth, g = 9.8 m/s 2 .
What are the masses (in kilograms) of the three objects on the Gizmo? (Note: 1 N = 1 kg  m/s 2 )

Answer 1

We have that using the Equation $w = mg$ we derive the various mass of the objects on the Gizmo

Example

$14N\ object=1.42kg\\\\80N\ object=8.16\\\\98N\ object=10kg$

From the Question we are told that

• Object’s weight is determined by its mass (m) and the acceleration due to gravity (g) affecting that object: w = mg.
• Gravity g = 9.8 m/s 2.
• (Note: 1 N = 1 kg  m/s 2 )

Generally

For a Gizmo Bearing Weight of represented as integers

Say

14N,80N,98N

Therefore

For 14N

$w = mg.\\\\14 = m*9.8.\\\\m_1=1.42kg$

For 80N

$w = mg.\\\\80 = m*9.8.\\\\m_2=8.16kg$

For 98N

$w = mg.\\\\98 = m*9.8.\\\\m_3=10kg$
