What is the difference between mass and weight?
1 Answer
Mass is the amount of material within an object, and is independent of gravity. Weight is how much force gravity exerts on that object, which is found with
(
#"weight" = overbrace("mass ")^"in kilograms" * overbrace(" gravitational acceleration")^(= 9.81color(white)(l)"m/s"^2)# )
Or
#ulbar(|stackrel(" ")(" "w = mg" ")|)#
