Answer:
mass=10kg
acceleration due to gravity =9.8m/s square
force= mass ×g
(weight)=10kg× 9.8=98N
hope you got your answer

Since weight is a perpendicular force on a surface, we derive
W=F=ma (from Newton's 2nd Law of Motion) - where m is mass and a is acceleration
But since the acceleration happening here is under the effect of gravity
W=mg
We calculate the value of 'g' by taking mass of earth, its radius and Gravitational constant and find it to be = 9.8 m/s²
∴ W=mg
W= 10 × 9.8
= 98 N or kgm/s²
HOPE THIS HELPS ^_^
