Weight Formula

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
