The weight of an object is the product of its mass, m, and the acceleration of gravity, g, (where g= 9.8k/s^2). If an objects mass is m=10 kg, what is the weight?
If the mass of the object is 10 kg, then using the formula: F = mg where F is the weight of the object in Newtons (N) m is the mass of the object in kg g is the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8m/s2
Plugging in the given values: F = 10 (9.8) F = 98 N
Therefore, an object with a mass of 10 kg has a weight of 98 N.
