Question

A boat floating in water has a mass of 1000kg. What is the weight of the boat?

Answer 1

The weight of the boat can be calculated using the formula:

Weight = mass x gravity

Given that the mass of the boat is 1000kg and the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s^2, we can calculate the weight of the boat:

Weight = 1000kg x 9.81 m/s^2 = 9810 N

Therefore, the weight of the boat is 9810 Newtons.
