You can also enter units that are combinations of other units. Keep in mind that you have to indicate the multiplication of units explicitly either with a multiplication dot or a dash. The weight of an object is the product of its mass, m, and the acceleration of gravity, g (where g = 9.8 m/s2). If an object's mass is m = 10. kg, what is its weight?

Weight = 98 kg. m/s^2

= 98 N.

Explanation:

Weight of an object is defined as the product of mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity acting on the object. Its unit is Newton which is denoted as N and is also equivalent to kg. m/s^2.

Mass of the object = 10 kg

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Weight = m*g

= 10 kg * 9.8 m/s^2

= 98 kg. m/s^2

= 98 N
