Since weight is the force an object is exerting on another object, and the formula to calculate force is Force = Mass * Acceleration, the answer to your question is 196 N, since the mass of the cannonball times Earth's gravitational pull equals 196 N.

Answer:

Weight of the cannonball, W = 196 N

Explanation:

Mass of the cannonball, m = 20 kg

We need to find its weight on earth. The weight of an object on the earth can be calculated by the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity as :

[tex]W=m\times g[/tex]

[tex]W=20\times 9.8[/tex]

W = 196 N

So, the weight of the cannonball on the Earth's surface is 196 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
