Calculate the force.....

Question

Calculate the force on a string tied to a ceiling with a 9.0-kg mass attached.

Answer 1

The mass is hanging down on the string.  We use the formula

 

F = mg

 

F = force

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

 

 

F = (9 kg)* (9.81 m/s⁾

F = 88.29 kg m/s²
