Find the Weight

$w = m \cdot g$

$w$	$=$	$?$
$m$	$=$	$10 kg$
$g$	$=$	$9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Step 1

Substitute the given values into $w = m \cdot g$ .

Step 1.1

Substitute $10 kg$ for $m$ .

$w = 10 kg \cdot g$

Step 1.2

Substitute $9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$ for $g$ .

$w = 10 kg \cdot (9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2}})$

$w = 10.0 kg \cdot (9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2}})$

Step 2

Simplify the right side.

Step 2.1

Combine fractions.

$w = 98.100 kg \frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Step 2.2

Combine $98.100 kg$ and $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ .

$w = 98.100 \frac{kg m}{s^{2}}$

Step 2.3

Rewrite $\frac{kg m}{s^{2}}$ as $N$ .

$w = 98.100 N$

Step 3

Round to $3$ significant figures.

$w = 98.1 N$
