Question

An object weighs 42.53 newtons. What is its mass if a gravitometer indicates that g = 9.83 m/sec2?
A.4.33 kg
B.418 kg
C.0.231 kg
D.2.42 kg

Answer 1

Weight=mass x g (the acceleration due to gravity

=42.53/9.83

=4.33 kg

$<marquee>$A. 4.33 Kg is the answer. ✌✌

Answer 2

so the weight equals to

$mass×accelaration \:due \:to \: gravity$

$m×9.83ms^{-2} =42.53N$

$m = \frac{42.53}{9.83}$

$m = 4.3265kg$

or

$m = 4.33 kg$

hence 'A' is correct
