The correct Answer is:
To find the weight of the boy, we can use the formula for weight, which is given by: \[ W = M \times g \] where: - \( W \) is the weight, - \( M \) is the mass of the object, - \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the mass of the boy**: The mass of the boy is given as \( M = 50 \, \text{kg} \). 2. **Identify the value of \( g \)**: From the question, we know that the Earth attracts a body of mass 1 kg with a force of 10 N. This means that the acceleration due to gravity \( g \) is \( 10 \, \text{N/kg} \) (or \( 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)). 3. **Substitute the values into the weight formula**: Now we can substitute the values into the weight formula: \[ W = M \times g = 50 \, \text{kg} \times 10 \, \text{N/kg} \] 4. **Calculate the weight**: \[ W = 50 \times 10 = 500 \, \text{N} \] 5. **Conclusion**: The weight of the boy is \( 500 \, \text{N} \). ### Final Answer: The weight of the boy will be **500 N**. ---
