To determine the weight of a book with a mass of 1.5 kg on Earth, we need to use the formula for weight:
[tex]\[ \text{Weight} = \text{Mass} \times \text{Acceleration due to gravity} \][/tex]
Where:
- The mass of the book is given as 1.5 kg.
- The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s².
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
[tex]\[ \text{Weight} = 1.5 \, \text{kg} \times 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \][/tex]
Performing the multiplication:
[tex]\[ \text{Weight} \approx 14.7 \, \text{N} \][/tex]
Therefore, the weight of the book on Earth is approximately 14.7 N.
The correct answer is:
14.7 N
