Best Answer

The 40kg student's force (weight) on Earth is about 392.28 newtons. (Force = mass x acceleration). Earth's acceleration is 9.807 meters per second squared.

40kg x 9.81 m/s2 = 392.4 Newtons

the value of the Earth's gravitational acceleration is variable with latitude due to the centrifugal force created by the Earth's rotation. Here you have the value of g at 49' North

Usually when some one asks about our weight we say, " I'm 60 kg."

This actually creates a confusion as 60 kg is the mass and not the weight.

But there is another unit for force, that is, kg wt. (kilogram weight)

We really say that my weight is 60kgwt. But we drop that 'wt' from saying, as it is understood automatically.

kg wt is the force exerted by the earth on one kg of mass. 1kg wt = g newton

g - acceleration due to gravity at that place.

588 newtons (132.3 pounds, rounded).

Note:

If the person's mass is 60 kg on earth, then it's 60 kg everywhere.

Location has no effect on mass.

To get momentum, just multiply the velocity with the mass.
