Answer: The correct answer is 15 kg.
Explanation:
The expression of weight in terms of mass and acceleration due to gravity is as follows;
w=mg
Here, m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
It is given in the problem that a flat-screen TV weighs 147 newtons.
Calculate the mass of TV by rearranging the above expression.
[tex]m=\frac{w}{g}[/tex]
Put w= 147 N and g = 9.8 N/kg.
[tex]m=\frac{147 N}{9.8 N/kg}[/tex]
m= 15 kg
Therefore, The mass of the TV is 15 kilograms.
