Question

The weight of the body is 19.6N. What is the mass of the body and weight
in kgf?

Answer 1

Explanation:

weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

W = m ×g

19.6 = m× 9.8. ( g is always constant 9.8)

19.6/9.8 =m

2 =m

thus mass is 2 kg .

Conversion from Newton to kgf :

1 Newton = 0.102 kilogram-force

thus 19.6 N = 19.6 × 0.102 kgf

= 1.9992 kgf
