An African elephant can heights of 4m and possess a mass of as much as 6000kg. Determine the weight of an African elephant in Newton

Respuesta :

The weight of the African elephant is 58,800 Newtons.

Explanation:

Step 1:

Mass of the African Elephant = 6000 Kg

We need to find the weight of  African elephant in Newton.

Step 2 :

Weight in Newtons = Mass of the object ×  acceleration due to gravity (g)

We know that value of  g is 9.8 m/sec²

Hence the required weight = 6000 × 9.8 = 58,800 Newtons

The height of the elephant can reach 4 m. But the weight of any object is nit dependent on the height and hence this information is not required to compute the weight.

Step 3 :

Answer :

The weight of the African elephant is 58,800 Newtons.

The weight of the elephant is 58,800 N.

Explanation:

Weight in Newtons (N) can be found by multiplying mass which is measured in kilograms (kg) and acceleration due to gravity that has a constant value of 9.8 m/s².

Weight = mass of the elephant × acceleration due to gravity

             = 6000 kg × 9.8 m/s²  

             = 58,800 kg m/s² or Newton.

So the weight of the elephant is 58,800 N. Here the height of the elephant doesn't required in the calculation of the weight of the elephant.
