Question

what is the weight of a 82 - kg linebacker?
weight n
check answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for weight

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

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given \(m = 82\space kg\) and \(g=9.8\space m/s^{2}\), then \(W=(82\space kg)\times(9.8\space m/s^{2})\).

Step3: Calculate the product

\(82\times9.8=(80 + 2)\times9.8=80\times9.8+2\times9.8=784+19.6 = 803.6\space N\).

Answer:

\(803.6\)
