You place a 6.9 kg television set on a spring scale.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .
If the scale reads 75.43 N, what is the ac- celeration of gravity at that location?
Answer in units of m/s2.
To find the acceleration of gravity at that location, we can use the formula:
Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity
Given that the mass of the television set is 6.9 kg and the scale reads 75.43 N, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the acceleration due to gravity.
Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity
75.43 N = 6.9 kg x acceleration due to gravity
Dividing both sides by 6.9 kg, we can solve for the acceleration due to gravity:
(75.43 N) / (6.9 kg) = acceleration due to gravity
Using a calculator, we can find that the acceleration due to gravity at that location is approximately 10.92 m/s^2. Therefore, the answer is 10.92 m/s^2.
