$407.974 N$ $407.974N$

We have $g = 9.8 \frac{N}{k g} and m = 41.63 k g$ $g = 9.8N/(kg) and m = 41.63 kg$

The force gravity exerts on the object would be:

$F = m g$ $F = mg$

$F = 9.8N/cancel(kg) * 41.63cancel(kg) = 407.974 N$

The force due to gravity is F mgF=mgF=mgF=mg where g = 9.8 N/kgg=9.8Nkgg = 9.8 N/kg. What is the force due to gravity on a 41.63-kg object ?
