Weight Formula
Weight is nothing but the force that gravity receives. It is represented by W and Newton is its SI unit. It is expressed as the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. Therefore, the weight of a particular object changes in response to the gravity of that particular space. Therefore, objects of similar mass will appear on different planets with different weights.
Formula
W = mg
Where,
W = weight of the object
m = mass of the object
g = acceleration due to gravity
Solved examples
1. If the mass is 60 kg, do you want to calculate the weight of a body in the moon? g is given as 1.625 m / s2.
Formula of m = 60kg and
g = 1.625 m / s2
weight,
W = mg
W = 60 × 1.625
W = 97.5N
2. Do you want to calculate the weight of an object on Earth with a mass of 25 kg?
The formulas for m = 25 kg and
g = 9.8 m / s2
weight is:
W = mg
W = 25 × 9.8
B = 245N
