What will be the mass of an object under free fall, if at earth's surface it weighs 100 N ? [Take `g=10 m//s^(2)`]

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the mass of an object under free fall when its weight at Earth's surface is given as 100 N, we can use the relationship between weight, mass, and gravitational acceleration. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the relationship between weight and mass**: The weight (W) of an object is given by the formula: \[ W = m \cdot g ...
