Theweight of a woman in Newton.
Answer to Problem 23A
The weight of the woman in Newton is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A woman has a mass of 50 kg.
Formula used:
The weight of an object is the force it experiences due to the force of gravity exerted by earth on it. It can be expressed as,
Here, mass is expressed in kilograms and the acceleration due to gravity on earth is considered that is
Calculation:
The mass of the woman is given as 50 kg. Therefore, the weight in Newton is given by,
Conclusion:
The weight of woman in Newton is 490 N.
