The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 meters per second squared.
Which is the weight of a bag of rice with a mass of 60.0 kilograms?
Answer options with 4 options
A.
16.3 newtons
B.
50.2 newtons
C.
294.0 newtons
D.
588.0 newtons
The weight of an object can be calculated using the formula: weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity.
Plugging in the given values:
weight = 60.0 kg * 9.8 m/s^2
Calculating:
weight = 588 newtons
Therefore, the correct answer is option D. 588.0 newtons.
