If the weight of an object is 8N on earth and the Earth's gravitational field strength of10 N/kg is acting on the object, what is the mass of the object?

1 answer

The formula to calculate weight is:

weight = mass x gravitational field strength

We can rearrange this formula to solve for mass:

mass = weight / gravitational field strength

Substituting the given values:

mass = 8N / 10N/kg

mass = 0.8 kg

Therefore, the mass of the object is 0.8 kg.
