What mass does a body weighing 120H have?

Given:

P = 120 Newton – body weight;

g = 9.8 N / kg (Newton per kilogram) – acceleration of gravity.

It is required to determine m (kilogram) – what is the mass of a body weighing P.

Since it is not specified in the problem statement, we assume that the body is at rest on a horizontal surface. Then, in order to determine the mass, knowing the weight, you must use the following formula:

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

m = P / g = 120 / 9.8 = 1200/98 = 12.3 kilograms (the result has been rounded to one decimal place).

Answer: a body weighing 120 Newtons has a mass equal to 12.3 kilograms.
