On earth, what is a child's mass if the force of gravity on the child's body is 100 N

Answer: 10.2 kg if g = 9.8, 10 if g = 10.

Explanation:

Weight or the "force of gravity" on a person is simply defined by the equation: F = ma. In this case, the acceleration is g, which is 9.8 but can be rounded up to 10. Based on this, we have:

F = mg

100 = m*9.8

m = 10.2 (or 10 if we set g to 10).
