Answer to Question #143701 in Physics for Sydney

Question

A bull elephant has a mass of 2250 kg. What is his weight?

Answer 1

The weight is equal to:

$$P = mg$$

where $m = 2250kg$ is the mass and $g = 9.81m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration. Thus we have:

$$P = mg = 2250kg\times 9.81m/s^2 = 22072.5N$$

Answer.  22072.5 N.
