Question

State the magnitude and direction of force of gravity acting on a body of mass 5 kg. Take g =9.8 m/s 2​

Answer 1

Answer:-

The magnitude and direction of the force of gravity is $\large\leadsto\boxed{\tt\purple{49 \: N \: and \: vertically \: downwards}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Given:-

• Mass of the body = 5 kg

• Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

• To Find:-

• Magnitude and direction of the force acting on the body.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Solution:-

We know,

$\pink{\bigstar}$ $\large\underline{\boxed{\bf\green{F = mg}}}$

where,

• F = Force acting on the body

• m = mass of the body

• g = acceleration due to gravity

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Substituting in the Values:-

➪ $\sf F = 5 \times 9.8$

➪ $\bf F = 49 \: kg.ms^{-2}$

★ $\large\pink{F = 49 \: N}$

Therefore, the force acting on the body is of 49 N.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

✯ The gravitational force always acts vertically downwards. Hence, the direction of the force will be vertically downwards.

Answer 2

✭Answer✭

Force = 49 Newton and Force of gravity always acts downward.

✭Explaination✭

Given ,

• Mass of body = 5 kg

• Gravity = 9.8 m / s ^2

As we know that ,

• Force ( f ) = Mass ( m ) × Gravitation (g)

⇛ F = m × g

• Substituting the value in Values

⇝ F = m × g

⇝ F = 5 × 9.8

⇝ F = 48 newton ( n )

⇝ F = 48 n

Force of gravity always acts downward.
