Question

question 2 of 25
a computer has a mass of 3 kg. what is the weight of the computer?
a. 29.4 n
b. 77.2 n
c. 3 n
d. 288 n

Explanation:

Step1: Recall weight formula

Weight $W = mg$, where $m$ is mass and $g$ is acceleration due to gravity ($g = 9.8\ m/s^{2}$ on Earth).

Step2: Substitute values

Given $m = 3\ kg$ and $g=9.8\ m/s^{2}$, then $W=3\times9.8$.
$W = 29.4\ N$

Answer:

A. 29.4 N
