Question

The earth attracts a body of mass 4kg on its surface with a force of.​

Answer 1

The force acting on the object is 40 N.

Step-by-step solution:

• We are given that the mass of the object is 4 kg.

To Find: Force acting on the object.

• How to convert find the force acting on the object.
• According to newton's second law of motion.

Solution:

F = m.a [ a = g gravitational acceleration]

Now

• F = mg
• m = 4 kg
• g = 10 m/s^2
• Therefore,
• F = 4 x 10 = 40 N

Thus, the force acting on the object is 40 N.
