Homework Statement


You place a 8.10-kg television on a spring scale. If the scale reads 77.95 N, what is the acceleration due to gravity at that location?

Homework Equations


f=ma
fg=mg
fnet=mAnet
Ff=μῦF

The Attempt at a Solution


Fnet = T - Fg
mAnet = T - Fg
8.1(Anet) = T - 8.1(9.81)

Now I don't know what to do from here because I have 2 variables.. Help?
