    The weight of the elephant is 58,800 N.

    Explanation:

    Weight in Newtons (N) can be found by multiplying mass which is measured in kilograms (kg) and acceleration due to gravity that has a constant value of 9.8 m/s².

    Weight = mass of the elephant * acceleration due to gravity

    = 6000 kg * 9.8 m/s²

    = 58,800 kg m/s² or Newton.

    So the weight of the elephant is 58,800 N. Here the height of the elephant doesn't required in the calculation of the weight of the elephant.

    The weight of the African elephant is 58,800 Newtons.

    Explanation:

    Step 1:

    Mass of the African Elephant = 6000 Kg

    We need to find the weight of African elephant in Newton.

    Step 2:

    Weight in Newtons = Mass of the object * acceleration due to gravity (g)

    We know that value of g is 9.8 m/sec²

    Hence the required weight = 6000 * 9.8 = 58,800 Newtons

    The height of the elephant can reach 4 m. But the weight of any object is nit dependent on the height and hence this information is not required to compute the weight.

    Step 3:

    Answer:

    The weight of the African elephant is 58,800 Newtons.
