Understanding Weight
* Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
* Force is measured in Newtons (N).
* Mass is measured in kilograms (kg).
Formula
The formula to calculate weight is:
Weight (N) = Mass (kg) * Acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)
Using the Formula
* Acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s².
* Weight = 2200 kg * 9.81 m/s²
* Weight ≈ 21582 N
Therefore, the weight of a 2200 kg mass is approximately 21582 Newtons.
