Question

what is the weight of potatoes of mass 75kg on the surface of the earth.[g=9.8 m/s square]
​

Answer 1

weight = mg = 75 × 9.8 =735 N

Answer 2

Answer:

The weight of potatoes is  735 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

• A measure of an object's heaviness is its weight.
• It can also be defined as t he vertical force that a mass experiences as a function of gravity.
• It is equal to the body's mass multiplied by the free-fall acceleration.

Given:

Mass of potatoes, m = 75kg

Earth's acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 ms⁻²

Weight, W = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity

            W = mg

            W = 75kg × 9.8 ms⁻²

            W = 735 N

∴The weight of potatoes is  735 N.
