Question

The force of gravity
on a
resting block is 150 N. What is the mass of the block?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Mass = Weight / g = 150N / (9.8m/s²) = 15.3kg.

Answer 2

Mass = 15 kg

Explanation:

Force =150 N

Mass = ?

Acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s

$force = mass \times acceleration \\ mass = \frac{force}{acceleration}$

Substitute values into the given equation

$mass = \frac{150}{10}$

Simplify

$mass = 15 \: kg$
