Question

If you place a 7.5 kg television set on a bathroom scale and it reads 78.4 N what is the acceleration due to gravity at that location?

Answer 1

`10.45ms^-2`

Explanation:

`"acceleration" = "force"/"mass"`

so `a = "78.4N"/"7.5kg" = 10.45333333ms^-2`

which we round to `10.45ms^-2` (4 s.f.)
