\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A Newton is a force on an object of mass being acted upon by a gravitational acceleration of . 1 Newton is . So an object of mass 9 kg that weighs 54 N, must be in a gravitational field with a net gravitational acceleration of where , hence the net gravitational acceleration must be . You should be able to get the rest by yourself.\r
