Samantha's weight is 294 N
Weight is the force of gravitational attraction acting on the person. The gravitational field strength g on Earth is the force experienced by a mass of 1 kg placed on the surface of the Earth and has a value 9.8 N/kg.
Therefore, the weight of a mass m is given by,
[tex] W= m*g [/tex]
Substitute 30 kg for m and 9.8 N/kg for g.
[tex] W=(30kg)*(9.8N/kg)=294N [/tex]
Thus, Samantha's weight is 290 N
