The weight of a body is calculated using the formula:

$\text{Weight} = \text{Mass} \times \text{Acceleration due to Gravity}$

Given:

• Mass $m = 5 \, \text{kg}$
• Acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2$

Now, substituting these values into the formula:

$\text{Weight} = 5 \, \text{kg} \times 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 50 \, \text{N}$

So, the weight of the body is 50 Newtons (N).

Here are some related questions:

1. What is the relationship between mass and weight?
2. How does gravity vary on different planets, and how does it affect weight?
3. How would the weight change if the object were on the Moon?
4. What is the SI unit of weight and how is it defined?
5. Can you explain the difference between mass and weight in simple terms?

Tip: Remember, mass is a scalar quantity (no direction), while weight is a vector (it has both magnitude and direction).
