Problema Solution
A 44 kg child steps onto a scale what is the magnitude of the force that the scale exerts on the child?
Answer provided by our tutors
we know
m = 44 kg
g = 9.81 m/s^2 acceleration of gravity
F = the magnitude of the force that the scale exerts on the child = weight of the child
F = m*g
F = 44*9.81
F = 431.64 N
the magnitude of the force that the scale exerts on the child is 431.64 N.
