If the planes mass with them in it was 318kg, calculate the force due to weight?
weight=mass*g
W = mg
W = weight (in Newtons)
m = mass (in Kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity (in m/s^2)
Force in also measured in Newtons so they just want W.
Oh and g = 9.8 m/s^2
Hope that helps
To calculate the force due to weight, you need to multiply the mass of the object by the acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.
In this case, the mass of the plane is given as 318 kg. Therefore, the force due to weight can be calculated as:
Force due to weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity
= 318 kg × 9.8 m/s^2
Calculating the above expression:
Force due to weight = 3123.6 Newtons (rounded to one decimal place)
So, the force due to weight of the plane is approximately 3123.6 Newtons.
