Question

Mass of the body 5kg. What is its weight?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Basically Weight is a force on a particle or object by gravitational force. Originally Answered: If the mass of the body is 5 kg, what is its weight? Weight = mg where m = mass of the body and g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2 if the body is on Earth.) Hence, weight is 5*9.8 = 49kg.

Answer 2

Given:

• Mass (m) = 5kg
• Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

To Find:

• Weight of the body?

Formula Used:

$\\ \bullet{\underline{\boxed{\sf\green{ Weight = Mass \times acceleration \ due \ to \ gravity }}}}$

Solution:

After substituting values,

$\colon\implies{\sf{ W = 5 \times 9.8 }} \\ \\ \colon\implies{\sf{ W = 49 }} \\ \\ \colon\implies{\sf\red{ Weight = 49 \ N }}$

Hence,

The Weight of the body is 49 Newtons.

Remarks:

• A = Acceleration
• W = Weight
• M = Mass
• SI unit of Weight is Newton.
