Weight (W) = Mass (m) × Gravitational Field Strength (g)
Explanation:
* Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object. It is measured in Newtons (N).
* Mass is the amount of matter in an object. It is measured in kilograms (kg).
* Gravitational Field Strength is the acceleration due to gravity at a particular location. It is measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).
Example:
If an object has a mass of 10 kg and the gravitational field strength is 9.8 m/s², then its weight would be:
W = 10 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 98 N
Note:
* The value of gravitational field strength varies slightly depending on location. The standard value on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s².
* The equation above assumes that the object is close to the surface of the Earth. For objects far from Earth, the gravitational field strength would be different.
