The mass of a large stone block was determined to be 3361 kg. What is the weight of this stone in tons?

A. 3.7
B. 1680.5
C. 1512.45
D. 3361

1 kg = 0.0011 tons

Thanks

You're welcome.

To find the weight of an object, we need to multiply its mass by the acceleration due to gravity. The standard value for acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.

First, convert the mass of the stone block from kilograms to metric tons. There are 1000 kilograms in a metric ton, so divide the mass by 1000:

3361 kg / 1000 = 3.361 metric tons

Next, multiply the mass in metric tons by the acceleration due to gravity:

3.361 metric tons * 9.8 m/s^2 = 32.9378 metric tons * m/s^2

Finally, round the answer to the nearest whole number:

32.9378 ≈ 33 metric tons

Therefore, the weight of the stone block is approximately 33 metric tons.

Among the given answer choices, the closest option is:

B. 1680.5

So, the correct answer is B. 1680.5 metric tons.
