A 147 N iron ball weighs 15 kg. What is the acceleration of the ball due to gravity?

Answer :

Weight of an object is defined as attraction force due to gravity

so here we will have

[tex]W = mg[/tex]

now we know that

[tex]W = 147 N[/tex]

mass = 15 kg

now acceleration due to gravity is given as

[tex]147 = 15\times g[/tex]

[tex]g = \frac{147}{15}[/tex]

[tex]g = 9.8 m/s^2[/tex]

so here acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2
