Question

What is the weight of a body on the surface of the earth whose mass is

500kg. Give the answer in both SI and CGS unit​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The weight is directly proportional to the gravitational force of any area. The gravitational force on moon is one sixth of the gravitational force on earth. Hence if a body is weighting 10 kilo on moon, its weight on the earth will be 60 kilograms. Hence the correct answer to the given question is 60 kilograms.

Answer 2

Answer:

In cgs unit is 490000N,and

In SI unit is 4900 Dyne.

Explanation:

Here, m=500kg.

We know, weight =m×g

Therefor In CGS unit =500×980=490000N

And SI unit=500×9.8=4900dyne.
