Accepted Answer
Force of gravity is what we call "weight".It's the product of (mass) x (acceleration due to gravity).On Earth, acceleration due to gravity is about 9.81 meters per second-squared.It's different in other places. Example: It's about 1.62 on the Moon.So the weight of any mass on Earth is (9.81) x (the mass), in Newtons.The weight of the SAME mass on the Moon is (1.62) x (the mass), in Newtons.
Accepted Answer
Mass x Force of gravity = WeightWeight is a force.On Earth, the force due to gravity is ~9.81 N/Kg. So an object of 100 Kg will have a weight of ~981 N
