Aparcel has a mass of 500g. calculate its weight. (assume the gravitational field strength is 10n/kg).

The weight of the parcel is 5 N

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Weight can be calculated using the equation:

where

W ----> weight (W) is measured in newtons (N)

m ----> mass (m) is measured in kilograms (kg)

g ----> gravitational field strength (g) is measured in newtons per kilogram (N/kg)

In this problem we have

Remember that

To convert g to kg

Divide by 1,000

so

substitute the values in the equation

therefore

The weight of the parcel is 5 N

25
