What is the force of gravity acting on a body with a mass of 100 g?

Given:

m = 100 grams – body weight;

g = 10 m / s ^ 2 – acceleration of gravity (constant).

It is required to determine G (Newton) – the force of gravity acting on the body.

Let’s convert body weight from grams to kilograms:

m = 100 grams = 100 * 0.001 = 0.1 kilograms.

Then the force of gravity acting on the body will be equal to:

G = m * g = 0.1 * 10 = 1 Newton.

Answer: the body is affected by gravity equal to 1 Newton.
