  • Calculate Rock Mass: From Weight to Kilograms - A Simple Guide
    Here's how to calculate the mass of the rock:

    Understanding the Concepts

    * Weight: The force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Measured in Newtons (N).

    * Mass: The amount of matter in an object. Measured in kilograms (kg).

    * Acceleration due to gravity (g): Approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth.

    Formula

    Weight (W) = Mass (m) × Acceleration due to gravity (g)

    Solving for Mass

    1. Rearrange the formula: m = W / g

    2. Plug in the values: m = 94 N / 9.8 m/s²

    3. Calculate: m ≈ 9.6 kg

    Therefore, the mass of the rock is approximately 9.6 kilograms.
