Question

If your mass is 20kg, and you stand on the scale (witch is your force), and the acceleration due to gravity is10m/s^2, what does the scale says your weight is?

Answer 1

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

= 200 Newtons.

(About 44 pounds. You're very skinny.)

Answer 2

Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{\mathrm{200 \ N}}$

Explanation:

$\sf Weight \ (N)= mass \ (kg) \times acceleration \ of \ gravity \ (m/s^2)$

$W=mg$

Your mass is 20 kg.

The acceleration of gravity is approximately 10 m/s².

$W=20 \times 10$

$W=200$

Your weight is 200 N.
