The weight of an object is the product of its mass, m, and the acceleration of gravity, g (where g=9.8 m/s2). If an
object’s mass is m=10. kg, what is its weight?

Express the weight to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

[tex]m-mass[/tex]
[tex]w-weight[/tex]
[tex]g-gravitational\ acceleration[/tex]

[tex]w=m*g[/tex]

[tex]w=10kg*9.8m/s^2[/tex]

[tex]w=98\frac{kg*m}{s^2}[/tex]

You need to remember that [tex]1\frac{kg*m}{s^2}=1N[/tex]

So final answer is [tex]w=98\frac{kg*m}{s^2}=98N[/tex]
