Answer:
1336.4N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the sumo wrestler = 330pounds
Unknown:
Amount of force the earth exerts on the wrestler = ?
Solution:
The force the earth exerts on the wrestler is the weight of the man;
Weight = mg
where;
m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity
Now,
let us convert from pounds to kg;
2.2pounds = 1kg
300 pounds = [tex]\frac{300}{2.2}[/tex] = 136.4kg
Weight = 136.4kg x 9.8m/s² = 1336.4N
