Question

Determine the weight of an average physical science textbook whose mass is 3.1 kilograms. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2.

Answer 1

Given:

mass is 3.1 kilograms

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2

Required:

Weight

Solution:

W = mg

W = (3.1 kilograms)( 9.8m/s2)

W = 30.38 Newtons
