The weight in newtons of a 10 kg mass on the earth's surface is 98 N.
Explanation:
Every object on the Earth experiences an acceleration of [tex]9.8 m/s^2[/tex] due to gravity. From the given,
Mass of the object = 10 kg
To calculate the weight of the object we have to multiply the given mass of the object by the acceleration due to gravity.
i.e. [tex]Weight= Mass\times Acceleration \ due \ to \ gravity[/tex]
Acceleration due to gravity = [tex]9.8 m/s^2[/tex]
On substituting the values,
Weight = [tex]10 kg\times 9.8 m/s^2[/tex]
[tex](1 N = 1 kg. m/s^2)[/tex]
[tex]\bold{\Rightarrow 98 \ kg.m/s^2\Rightarrow 98 N}[/tex]
Weight = 98 N
