Question

You are applying force on the pan of single pan weighing balance and the pointer points to 100 g. What is the force in newtons applied by you?

Answer 1

Answer:

You are applying a force that, to the weighing balance, is as if there were a 100g mass in the pan. The hypothetical 100g mass would apply its weight of

weight=m⋅g

=0.1kg⋅9.8ms2

=0.98N

So you are applying a force of 0.98 N.

I hope this helps,

Answer 2

The force applied in Newtons is 0.98 N

m = 100 g = 0.1 kg  (Given)

The formula for force is given as -

F = g × m  

Where,  F is the force, m is the mass  and g is the gravitational constant (9.8m/s²)

Therefore,

F = 0.1 × 9.8

= 0.98

The force applied in newtons is 0.98 N
