Question

The weight (W) of an object is the product of its mass (m) in kilograms and g, the acceleration due to gravity in meters/second2. If the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters/second2, find the corresponding weights for these masses.

mass in kilograms = {22.1, 33.5, 41.3, 59.2, 78}


The weights (in newtons) for the given masses are

Answer 1

the weights in newtowns for the given masses are

 masses        22.1,                 33.5,             41.3,           59.2,            78
 weights        216.58N           328.3N       404.74N      580.16N     764.4N

e.g,   for m=22.1kg, W=22.1kgx9.8N/kg =216.58N
