  2. look at their unit.

    F=ma; Force [Newton] = mass [kg] * acceleration [m/s^2]

    W=mg; Weight [Newton] = mass [kg] * acceleration due to gravity [m/s^2]or[N/kg]

    while their direction force can be anywhere and weight due to the gravity source.


  3. weight is a force......weight = your mass times gravity, ie.... if your mass is 40 kilos,.....and gravity = 9,8

    then; weight = m x g

    = 40 x 9.8

    = (watever it does)

    weight is often missinterpreted as mass. ie. when you weigh yourslef on the scales, you are measuring your mass, not your weight.

  4. yes,weight and effect of force have very deep relation .

  5. In the physical sciences, weight is a measurement of the gravitational force acting on an object. Near the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately constant; this means that an object's weight is roughly proportional to its mass.

  6. F= m a  newtons,

    G=m g   kilos  g=9.81 m/sec^2

    ..

    .free fall vertically is F=G..

  7. actually weight is not what we actually say

    suppose 48kg

    but it is the force by which a body is attracted toward the earth

    it is

    F=ma=mg

    g is the acceleration due to gravity of the earth
