W=m x g g - acceleration due to gravity = 9.8ms^-2

W = 15 x 9.8 = 147N

the value of 'g' is 9.8 which is the acceleration due to gravity ant the given wight is 15 you just multiply & u get 147 9.8*15=147

15kg is the mass weight is the gravitational attraction to the earth given by mass of object times mass of earth times universal gravitation constant all over the distance between the two center of masses squared

Weight = Mass (kg) x Acceleration due to gravity (constant: 9.8 meter/second square) . . . W = m x g = 15 kg x 9.8 m/s2 = 147 kgxm/s2 or 147 Newtons

Force = ma or Weight= mg
W = 15kg x 9.81 m/s^2 = 147.51 Newtons

Given, Mass(m)=15kg, Gravity of Earth(g)=9.78 m/s², Required, Weight=?, Solution, Weight=Mass x Gravity of Earth=m x g, =15kg x 9.78 m/s² , Weight = 147 N

Mass of an object is measured in kg or grams But the actual weight is F=mass(m) X acceleration due to gravity(g) Here, mass= 15kg Weight = 15 X 9.8 =147 (where g= 9.8 for earth)
