A chair lift holding a 100 kg man rises 5 meters in height in 10 second time period. Ignore the weight of the chair and related machinery and answer the following: What is the weight (force exerted by his mass) of the man, in Newtons?
To find the weight of the man, we can use the formula: weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity.
The mass of the man is given as 100 kg. The acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.
So, weight = 100 kg × 9.8 m/s^2 = 980 Newtons.
Therefore, the weight (force exerted by his mass) of the man is 980 Newtons.
