The mass of a body is ‘X’ kg on the surface of the Earth. What will be the weight of this body (in newton) on the surface of the Earth? (Take the value of g on Earth as 10 m/s2)
-
A.
X/10
-
B.
X
-
C.
X/5
-
D.
10X
Correct Answer:
D. 10X
Explanation:
The weight of an object is determined by the product of its mass and the acceleration due to gravity, expressed by the formula W = m * g. Given that the mass (m) is X kg and the acceleration due to gravity (g) on Earth is approximately 10 m/s², the weight is calculated as X * 10. Therefore, the weight of the body on the Earth's surface is 10X Newtons.
