Question

The weight of the measuring cylinder when it is filled with water is 15N. Find the
mass of the measuring cylinder when filled with water. Take g= 10 N/kg

Answer 1

• Force=15N
• Acceleration due to gravity=10N/kg

Using Newtons second law

$\boxed{\sf Force=Mass\times Acceleration}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Mass=\dfrac{Force}{Acceleration}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Mass=\dfrac{15}{10}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Mass=1.5kg$
