Question

If the weight of body on Earth is 28 kg what is the mass of this weight
M=Kg

Answer 1

Answer:

2.857 kg

Explanation:

Given :

• Weight of the body on surface of earth = 28 kg

• Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

To find :

• Mass of the body

Weight = Mass×Acceleration due to gravity

28 = Mass×9.8

Mass = 28/9.8

Mass = 2.857 kg

The mass of the object is equal to 2.857 kg

Note:

Mass remains constant wherever we go but weight changes with change in Gravitational force and weight = Mass×Acceleration due to gravity
