Problema Solution
On a given planet, the weight of an object varies directly with the mass of the object. Suppose that an object whose mass is 9kg weighs 36 N. Find the weight of an object whose mass is 10 kg.
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'x' represent the weight. The weight varying directly can be expressed as this fraction:
9/36 = 10/x
x=40
The weight of the object would be 40 N.
