CBSEENPH11017498

A body of mass 200kg weighs 500N on the surface of some heavenly body. Find the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of heavenly body.

Solution

Given,
 Mass, m = 200 kg
Weight of the body, W = 500N 
Therefore,
Acceleration due to gravity, 
straight g equals straight W over straight m equals 500 over 200 equals 2.5 straight m divided by straight s squared
