Weight is actually a force. Weight is the force that is caused by gravity acting on a mass.
a) Weight = 10.5 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 102.9 N
b) Weight = [10,000 kg + (15 * 100kg)] * 9.8 m/s^2
Weight = 112,700 N = 112.7 KN
a) Weight = 10.5 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 102.9 N
b) Weight = [10,000 kg + (15 * 100kg)] * 9.8 m/s^2
Weight = 112,700 N = 112.7 KN
