What is the weight of a 90 kg man standing on Earth, where [tex]g_{earth} = 9.82 \, m/s^2[/tex]?

A. 884 N
B. 9.2 N
C. 80.2 N
D. 99.8 N

Answer :

The weight of the man on earth is 882 Newtons.

We have a man of mass 90 Kg.

We have to determine his weight on Earth.

What is Weight ?

Weight is the force exerted by the earth on an object at the surface of the earth. Mathematically -

W = m x g

where -

m is the mass of object

g is acceleration due to gravity

According to the question -

The mass of the man (M) = 90 kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore, the weight of the man will be -

W(m) = M x g = 90 x 9.8 = 882 Newtons

Hence, the weight of the man on earth is 882 Newtons.
