Asia Blackburn · Answer 1

Answer: the correct option is A.

Explanation:

Weight = Mass X Acceleration due to gravity (10m/s2)

If A has a mass of 4Kg and the mass of B is twice that of A. Then their weight will be:

For A:

W = 4 x 10 = 40N

For B:

Mas of B is two times that of A i. e

2 x 4 = 8kg

W = 8 x 10 = 80N

Comparing the weight of A and B it is clear that the weight of B is also twice the weight of A
