The force of gravity acting on an object varies directly as the mass of the object.

When you see "F varies directly as m" you write:

, where K is the constant of proportionality

The force on mass of 5 kilograms is 49 newtons.

So you substitute 5 for m and 49 for F and solve for k






Now substitute 9.8 for K in

What is the force asking on mass of 12 kilograms?

Now substitute 12 for m and solve for F



newtons
