The modulus of the force of gravity acting on the load is 0.98N. What is the weight of the cargo?

The modulus of the force of gravity acting on the load is 0.98N. What is the weight of the cargo? The gravitational acceleration modulus is taken equal to 9.8 m s2.

Given:

F = 0.98 Newton – the modulus of the force of gravity acting on the load;

g = 9.8 Newton / kilogram – acceleration of gravity.

It is required to determine m (kilogram) – the mass of the cargo.

Since the condition of the problem is not specified, we assume that the body is at rest or moves uniformly and rectilinearly. Then, to determine the mass of the cargo, you must use the following formula:

F = m * g, from here we find that:

m = F / g = 0.98 / 9.8 = 0.1 kilograms (100 grams).

Answer: the weight of the cargo is 0.1 kilograms (100 grams).
