SUMMARY
The weight of a 13.25 kg box can be calculated using Newton's Second Law of Motion, which states that force (F) equals mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a). In this case, the mass is 13.25 kg and the acceleration due to gravity (a) is approximately 9.81 m/s². Therefore, the weight of the box is F = m × a = 13.25 kg × 9.81 m/s², resulting in a weight of approximately 130.5 N (Newtons).
