Answer :
To determine the force of gravity acting on an object, we use Newton's formula for gravitational force:
[tex]$$
F = m \times g
$$[/tex]
where
[tex]\( m \)[/tex] is the mass of the object and
[tex]\( g \)[/tex] is the acceleration due to gravity.
Given:
[tex]\( m = 20 \, \text{kg} \)[/tex]
[tex]\( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)[/tex]
Substitute these values into the formula:
[tex]$$
F = 20 \, \text{kg} \times 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 196 \, \text{N}
$$[/tex]
Thus, the force of gravity acting on the object is [tex]\( 196 \, \text{N} \)[/tex].
The best answer is option C.
