On the surface of the earth the weight of a boy is 400N but on a mountian peak his weight is 360N . Calculate the value of g on the mountain peak |
|
Answer» .83 m/s²Step by step explanationGiven that,WEIGHT of the boy on the SURFACE of earth = 400Nweight of the boy on a mountain PEAK = 360NFormula to useW = mgAs we know that MASS remain CONSTANT irrespective of the place of an object and acceleration due to gravity on the earth surface is 9.81 m/s²So,1)400 = m(9.81)m = 40.77 kg2)360 = (40.77)gg = 360/40.77g = 8.83 m/s² on the mountain peak. |
