Answer»

QUESTION

The weight of a BODY is 20 N. What is its mass?​

ANSWER mass= 2.04kg

FORMULA USED

  • weight= mass x acceleration

SOLUTION

⇒weight= mass x acceleration         ∵   (taking GRAVITY as acceleration here)

⇒20N= mass x 9.8

⇒mass= 20/9.8

⇒mass= 2.04kg

WEIGHT

In SCIENCE and engineering, the weight of an object is the force acting on the object due to gravity.

MASS

IN physics, quantitative measure of inertia, a fundamental property of all matter. It is, in EFFECT, the resistance that a body of matter OFFERS to a change in its speed or position upon the application of a force.
