Question

What is the weight of the body having mass 10 kg ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

for a mass m = 10kg on Earth it`s weight is W = mg = 10 x 10 = 100N. However, in space where g = 0m/s2 this objects weight is W = mg = 10 x 0 = 0N whereas its mass still remains 10kg. R23.

Answer 2

The Weight Of The Body Is 100 N

GIVEN

Mass of the body = 10kg

TO FIND

Weight of the body.

SOLUTION

We can simply solve the above problem as follows.-

We know that mass is a scalar quantity which is the measure of the matter in a given body. Whereas weight is the measure of Force acting on a mass in relation to acceleration due to gravity.

The SI unit of weight is newton denoted by 'N'.

The formula to calculate weight is -

W = m × g

where,

mass =mass of the object.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

Putting the values in the above formula we get,

W = 10 × 10. ( Taking g = 10m/s²)

= 100 N

Hence, the weight of the body is 100 N
