The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the weight of a body that is moving with an acceleration 'a' under the action of a force 'g'. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - We have a body that is accelerating with an acceleration 'a'. - The force acting on the body is given as 'g'. - We need to find the weight of the body. 2. **Using Newton's Second Law**: - According to Newton's second law of motion, the relationship between force (F), mass (m), and acceleration (a) is given by: \[ F = m \cdot a \] - Rearranging this equation to find the mass (m): \[ m = \frac{F}{a} \] 3. **Substituting the Given Force**: - Here, the force acting on the body is 'g'. Therefore, we can substitute 'g' into the equation: \[ m = \frac{g}{a} \] 4. **Calculating the Weight of the Body**: - The weight (W) of the body is defined as the product of its mass (m) and the acceleration due to gravity (g): \[ W = m \cdot g \] - Substituting the expression we found for mass: \[ W = \left(\frac{g}{a}\right) \cdot g \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ W = \frac{g^2}{a} \] 5. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the weight of the body is: \[ W = \frac{g^2}{a} \]
