The weight of a body is 147 N. What is its mass? (Take the value of g as 10 $ms^{-2})$ (14.7 kg)

Solution:     

Weight = w = 147 N
                     Acceleration due to gravity = g = 10 $ms ^{-2}$  
                     Mass = m = ?
                            w = mg


or                         m =  $\frac{w}{g}$ 
                            m =  $\frac{147}{10}$  
                            m = 14. 7 kg
