A flat-screen TV weighs 147 newtons. The mass of the TV is [tex]$\square$[/tex] kilograms. Use [tex]$g=9.8 \text{ N/kg}$[/tex] for gravity.


Sagot :

To find the mass of the flat-screen TV in kilograms, let's use the relationship between weight, mass, and gravity. The formula is given by:

[tex]\[ \text{Weight} = \text{Mass} \times \text{Gravity} \][/tex]

We are given the weight \( \text{Weight} = 147 \, \text{newtons} \) and the gravitational constant \( g = 9.8 \, \text{N/kg} \).

Rearranging the formula to solve for mass, we get:

[tex]\[ \text{Mass} = \frac{\text{Weight}}{\text{Gravity}} \][/tex]

Substitute the given values into the equation:

[tex]\[ \text{Mass} = \frac{147 \, \text{newtons}}{9.8 \, \text{N/kg}} \][/tex]

When we perform this division, we find:

[tex]\[ \text{Mass} \approx 14.999999999999998 \, \text{kg} \][/tex]

So, the mass of the TV is approximately [tex]\( 15 \, \text{kilograms} \)[/tex].
