Question

What is the magnitude of the force of gravity acting on a box that has a mass of 100 kilograms and is at sea level?
-10.20 newtons
-98 newtons
-1,020 newtons
-980 newtons

Answer 1

I would just like to know if there are any formulas to solve this?

Answer 2

F=ma, where a in this case is gravitational acceleration.

Answer 3

So in this equation, I would plug in 100kg for m, but what would I plug in for a?

Answer 4

a will be 9.8mls^2.

Answer 5

Oh okay. Thanks! :)

Answer 6

No probs!
