Question

what is the weight of a body of mass 10^6 kg?(take g=10 m ^-2)

Answer 1

Answer:

10^7 N

Explanation:

W = mg

= (10^6 x 10)N

= 10^7 N.

Answer 2

Given:

Mass of a body is 10^(6) kg.

To find:

Weight of the body.

Calculation:

• Mass of a body refers to the amount of space acquired by the body. It is a scalar quantity having only magnitude.

• On the other hand, weight of a body is a vector quantity representing the force experienced due to gravity by the body. It is a vector having both magnitude and directions

$\rm{weight = mass \times gravity}$

$\rm{ = > weight = {10}^{6} \times 10}$

$\rm{ = > weight = {10}^{7} \: N }$

So, final answer is:

$\boxed{ \large{ \sf{ weight = {10}^{7} \: N }}}$
