Question

The weights of two bodies are 2.0 N and 2.0 kgf respectively what is the mass of each body?

Answer 1

For Ist body :

Let W₁ = 2.0 N.

Then W₁ = m₁g

Substituting the values, we get

2 = m₁ × 10

⇒ m₁ = `2/10` = 0.2 kg

For IInd body :

Let W₂ = 2.0 kgf.

Then W₂ = m₂g

Substituting the values, we get

2 × 10 = m₂ × 10

⇒ m₂ = 2 kg.
