Based on the Newton's second law of motion, the value of the net force acting on the object is equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration due to gravity. If we let a be the acceleration due to gravity, the equation that would allow us to calculate it's value is,

      W = m x a

where W is weight, m is mass, and a is acceleration. Substituting the known values,

    40 kg m/s² = (10 kg) x a

Calculating for the value of a from the equation will give us an answer equal to 4. 

ANSWER: 4 m/s².

The acceleration due to gravity of the body is 4 ms-2.

We define the weight of an object as the product of the mass of the object and acceleration due to gravity. The value of the acceleration due to gravity varies from place to place in the universe.

From the information presented in the question;

W = mg

m =  10 kilograms

W = 40 newtons

g = W/m

g = 40 newtons/10 kilograms

g = 4 ms-2
