This is how weight is defined and its formula is derived. Learn how the terms are used to define the concept and to calculate the weight. Find out the relation of mass with weight. Is this page helpful?

Suppose a body possesses a large mass and a large weight and this body is a very large object that is hard to throw because of its weight. Therefore by using Newton’s second law which states that the magnitude of the acceleration is ‘g’ for an object which is freely falling. Therefore, if the mass…

The mass of a body can be defined as the measure of the amount of matter that is present inside the body. Its SI unit is kilograms (kg). For a given body, the mass rarely changes for any given time. However, if a large amount of energy is taken out or given to the body,…

The measure of the force of gravity that is acted upon a body is known as its weight. It is denoted by w. In mathematical terms, weight can be described as the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity. W = mg Since weight is considered a force, its SI unit is also considered…
