Weight force = mass x acceleration due to gravity. W=mg W= weight, M=mass, G=accel. due to gravity. 1. What is the weight of an 87 kg person? A: 87 x 9.8 = 735 N (Newtons). 2. What is the mass of a person that weighs 110 N ? A: 110/9.8 = 11.2 kg. --Since you multiply to get the weight, you would do just the opposite and divide by the accel. due to gravity to get the mass.
 * Weight is mass x acceleration due to gravity (9.8).
 * Astronauts weigh less on the moon because the gravitational pull is less on the moon.
 * Mass and weight are different because mass is the amount of matter in an object and weight is the gravitational pull on that object.
 * Weight is measured in Newtons using a spring scale.
 * The gravitational attraction is different on other planets.
