Detailed explanation-1: -The weight of an object is defined as the force of gravity on the object and may be calculated as the mass times the acceleration of gravity, w = mg. Since the weight is a force, its SI unit is the newton.
Detailed explanation-2: -On Earth, the weight of the body (like any other object) is given by Newton’s laws as mass times gravitational acceleration (w = m * g). That is, the weight of an object is determined by the pull of gravity on it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mass is a fundamental measurement of how much matter an object contains. Weight is a measurement of the gravitational force on an object. It not only depends on the object’s mass, but also on its location. Therefore, weight is actually a measure of force.
