Chapter 3.1, Problem 1PP

To determine

The weight of the squirrel.

Answer to Problem 1PP

The weight of the squirrelis $4\cdot 9\text{N}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

Mass of squirrel, $m=0\cdot 5\text{kg}$

Formula used:

The formula for the weight of the object given by,

  $F_g=mg$

Calculation:

Write the expression to calculate the weight.

  $F_g=mg$

Here,

• $m$ is mass of the squirrel.
• $g$ is the gravitational constant.

Substitute the given values in the above equation.

  $\begin{array}{c}{F}_g=0\cdot 5\times 9\cdot 8\\ =4\cdot 9\text{N}\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Hence, theweight of the squirrelis $4\cdot 9\text{N}$ .
