You work at a garden store for the summer. You lift a bag of fertilizer with a force of 112 N, and it moves upward with an acceleration of 0.790 m/s^2.

a. What is the mass of the fertilizer bag?
b. How much does the fertilizer bag weigh?

Sagot :

Given :

Force provided, F = 112 N.

Acceleration of the bag, a = 0.79 m/s².

To Find :

a. What is the mass of the fertilizer bag?

b. How much does the fertilizer bag weigh?

Solution :

We know, force is given by :

F = ma

m = F/a

m = 112/0.79 kg

m = 141.77 kg

Now, weight is given by :

W = mg

W = 141.77 × 9.8 N

W = 1389.35 N

Therefore, the mass of fertilizer bag is 141.77 kg and weight us  1389.35 N.
