Question

Calculate the gravity on a planet where a 2kg mass has a weight of 40N

Answer 1

Weight = Mass × g

40N = 2g

g = 20m/s²

Answer 2

mass, m = 2kg

weight , W = 40N

we know that,

F= m × a

Similarly,

W = m × g (Where, g is the acceleration due to gravity)

=>40 = 2 × g

=>g = 40/2

=>g = 20 m/s^2
