Weight and Mass Calculation

How can we calculate the mass of an object based on its weight?

What is the mass of a dog that weighs 382 N?

Calculation of Mass from Weight

The mass of a dog that weighs 382 N is 38.94 kg.

When calculating the mass of an object based on its weight, we need to use the formula:

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

Acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s². In this case, the weight of the dog is given as 382 N.

By rearranging the formula, we can solve for the mass:

382 N = m × 9.81 m/s²

m = 38.94 kg

Therefore, the mass of the dog is 38.94 kg.
