10. Since gravity is fairly consistent on Earth, will be consistent as well. This allows us to use a
to convert weight into mass or mass into weight. The formula is:
force =
X acceleration or f = ma
In this equation force is equal to the
The
acceleration is the acceleration caused by gravity "g" which is 9.8
m/s2. Now we can substitute weight for mass and 9.8 m/s2 for
acceleration to get the formula:
weight = mass Xg
weight = mass X 9.8 m/s2
