determine the weight of an object if its mass is 68kg and the pull of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. someone please help me an show the work please

2 answers

in physics, note that mass is different from weight. mass has units in kilograms, grams, etc., while weight has units of Newton. (Newton = kg*m/s^2)
to determine weight, we use the formula
W = m*g
where
m = mass (in kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2
substituting,
W = 68*9.8 kg*m/s^2
W = 666.4 N

hope this helps~ :)
I watend to spend a minute to thank you for this.
