Chapter 4, Problem 50A

To determine

Weight of the body in Newton.

Answer to Problem 50A

Weight of the body is 568.4 N

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The mass of body is 58 kg.

Formula used :

Weight of a body is,

  $W=mg$

Where,

m is mass

g is acceleration due to gravity.

Calculation:

Acceleration due to gravity on earth is $g=9.8{\text{ m/sec}}^2$

Substitute the values,

  $\begin{array}{c}W=58\times 9.8\\ =568.4\text{ N}\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Therefore, the weight of the body is 568.4 N.
