A(n) 95.7 kg boxer has his first match in the Canal Zone with gravitational acceler-ation 9.782 m/s2 and his second match at the North Pole with gravitational accelera- tion 9.832 m/s2.
To determine the weight of the boxer in each location, we can use the equation:
Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration
For the first match in the Canal Zone, the gravitational acceleration is given as 9.782 m/s² and the boxer's mass is 95.7 kg. To find the weight in this location, we can substitute these values into the equation:
Weight in Canal Zone = 95.7 kg × 9.782 m/s²
Calculating this, we get:
Weight in Canal Zone = 937.17 N
Therefore, the boxer's weight in the Canal Zone is 937.17 Newtons.
For the second match at the North Pole, the gravitational acceleration is given as 9.832 m/s² and the boxer's mass remains the same at 95.7 kg. Using the same equation as before:
Weight at North Pole = 95.7 kg × 9.832 m/s²
Calculating this, we get:
Weight at North Pole = 939.17 N
Therefore, the boxer's weight at the North Pole is 939.17 Newtons.
