As we know,

Force of gravity (F) = mass (m) x acceleration due to gravity (g)

Given,

m = 10.5 kg

g = 10 m s^-2

Substituting the values in the formula above, we get,

$F = 10.5 \times 10 \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow F = 105 N \\[0.5em]$

Hence, the force of gravity = 105 N

(b) As we know,

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

Given,

m = 10.5 kg

g = 10 m s^-2

Substituting the values, we get,

$W = 10.5 \times 10 \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow F = 105 N \\[0.5em]$

Hence, weight = 105 N.
