To determine the weight of the book on Earth, we need to use the following formula that relates mass, gravity, and weight:
[tex]\[ \text{Weight} = \text{Mass} \times \text{Acceleration due to gravity} \][/tex]
Here, we are given:
- The mass of the book ([tex]\( m \)[/tex]) is [tex]\( 1.5 \)[/tex] kg.
- The acceleration due to gravity ([tex]\( g \)[/tex]) on Earth is approximately [tex]\( 9.8 \)[/tex] m/s².
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
[tex]\[ \text{Weight} = 1.5 \, \text{kg} \times 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \][/tex]
Performing the multiplication:
[tex]\[ \text{Weight} = 14.7 \, \text{N} \][/tex]
Therefore, the weight of the book on Earth is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{14.7 \, \text{N}} \][/tex]
Among the given options, the correct answer is 14.7 N.
