    Answer:

    The acceleration of the bag of sand is 1\ m/s^2.

    Explanation:

    We have,

    Mass of a bag of sand is 100 kg

    Weight of the bag of sand is 100 N

    It is required to find the acceleration of the bag when it is dropped. The weight of an object is given by :

    F =ma

    When it is dropped, a = g

    g=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\g=\dfrac{100}{100}\\\\g=1\ m/s^2

    So, the acceleration of the bag of sand is 1\ m/s^2.
