Using the mass of Dr. One's body, 4kg, you can determine the weight. The weight of a body is also called the force of gravity and it is a force that does not need contact between objects to exist. Since the acceleration of gravity is approximately g~10ms-2g equals 10 meters per second squared, and the force of gravity FG = mg is equal to mass times g, with how much force is Earth pulling Dr. One now?
