A fish is to be weighed at the harbor.If the mass of the fish is 69.0 kg,what will be the reading on the scale? (Use g = 9.8 m/s². ) A)676 N B)7.04 N C)7.74 N D)744 N

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A. The reading on the scale will be 676 N. This is because the scale measures the force of gravity acting on the fish, which is equal to the mass of the fish times the acceleration due to gravity. In this case, the mass of the fish is 69.0 kg and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2, so the force of gravity acting on the fish is 676 N.
