A mass of 1 kg is tied to a string as shown in the figure. Find the force exerted on the mass by the Earth ( g = 9 . 8 m s - 2 ).

Given, g = 9 . 8 m s - 2 m = 1 kg where m and g are the mass and acceleration due to gravity. The force acting on the mass by the Earth is F g = m × g F g = 1 kg × 9 . 8 m s - 2 = 9 . 8 N The force acting on the mass by the Earth is 9 . 8 N .
