Answer

As we know,

Weight (W) = mass (m) x acceleration due to gravity (g)

Given,

w = 2 N

g = 10 m s-2

Substituting the values in the formula above, we get,

2=m×10⇒m=210⇒m=0.2kg2 = m \times 10 \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow m = \dfrac{2}{10} \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow m = 0.2 kg \\[0.5em]

Hence, the mass of the body = 0.2 kg.
