Question

A stone resting on the ground has a gravitational force of 2 N acting on it. What is the weight of the stone? What is its mass?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given:

A stone resting on the ground has a gravitational force of 2 N acting on it.

To Find:

Weight and mass of stone

Solution:

Weight is defined the gravitational pull acting on the stone.

So the weight is 2N

Weight = 2N

Mass is the weight of matter without the gravitational pull.

The Formula is,

$\boxed{\sf Mass = \dfrac{Weight}{Acceleration\;due\;to\;gravity} }$

Hence,

The mass is,

$\sf \implies Mass = \dfrac{2}{9.8\;m/s^2}$

$\sf \implies Mass = 0.204 \;Kg$

Therefore,

Weight = 2 N

Mass = 0.204 Kg
