- Wrestler A weighs in at 170 pounds.
- Wrestler B weighs in at 168 pounds.
- Wrestler C weighs in at 171 pounds.
- Wrestler D weighs in at 169 pounds.

Which of these wrestlers experiences the greatest force due to gravity?

Answer :

The force due to gravity is equal to the product of the mass and acceleration due to gravity. Since the acceleration due to gravity is constant, we just have to rely on the comparison of their masses to determine the mass effect. Thus, the answer to this item is Wrestler C weighing 171 pounds.
