You wake up one morning to find yourself in a strange room with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. You decide to do some experiments to find out more about your strange situation. Your own body mass is 71.6 kg. You pick up an object and drop it from rest, starting at a height of 1.73 meters above the floor, and it hits the floor 0.416 seconds later. You can ignore air resistance. Based on the outcome of this experiment, when you step on the scale provided for you, what weight will it register for your body?     1,432 N     702.4 N     716 N     955 N
