Question

A man pushes a 34 kg lawn mower using a handle inclined 45.0 ∘ from the horizontal. He pushes with 75 N directed along the handle. What is the mowers weight?

Answer 1

333 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of an object is given by:

`W=mg`

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

For the mower in the problem,

m = 34 kg

Also

`g=9.8 m/s^2`

So, the weight of the mower is

`W=(34)(9.8)=333 N`
