Weight to Force Calculator:
Enter the values of mass, m(kg) and acceleration due to gravity, a(m/s2) to determine the value of weight to force, F(N).
Weight to Force Calculator:
Weight is a measure of the force exerted by gravity on an object.
Weight to force, F(N) in Newton is equated by the product of mass, m(kg) in kilogram and acceleration due to gravity, a(m/s2) in metre per second squared.
Weight to force, F(N) = m(kg) * a(m/s2)
F(N) = weight to force in Newton, N.
m(kg) = mass in kilogram, kg.
a(m/s2) = acceleration due to gravity, approximately 9.81m/s2 on Earth’s surface.
Weight to Force Calculation:
1. Calculate the force exerted by gravity on a mass of 10 kg.
Given: m(kg) = 10kg, a(m/s2) = 9.81m/s2.
Weight to force, F(N) = m(kg) * a(m/s2)
F(N) = 10 * 9.81
F(N) = 98.1N.
2. Suppose a force of 196.2N (which is the weight) is exerted by an object due to gravity. Calculate the mass of the object.
Given: F(N) = 196.2N, a(m/s2) = 9.81m/s2.
Weight to force, F(N) = m(kg) * a(m/s2)
m(kg) = F(N) / a(m/s2)
m(kg) = 196.2 / 9.81
m(kg) = 20kg.
