Question

a) A body has mass of 15kg



i. What is the weight of the body
1. What force is acting on the body (take g = 10 m/s2​

Answer 1

Answer:

i. Since W = mg

Therefore, W = 15 × 9.81

= 147.15 kg

ii. F = ma

Answer 2

Answer:

Force acting on the body during its fall = weight of the body.

So, F=W=m×g=1.5×9.8=14.7 N

And this force is independent of the height of fall.
