Answer to Question #142932 in Physics for Ferg b

Question

Find the force of gravity acting on a 58 kg person, standing on the ground

Answer 1

The force of gravity is equal to:

$$F = mg$$

where $m = 58kg$ is the mass of the person and $g = 9.81m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration. Thus, the answer is:

$$F = mg = 58kg\times 9.81m/s^2 = 568.98\space N$$

Answer. 568.98 N.
