Mass
The amount of
matter
contained in an object, and a measure of its resistance to
acceleration
Weight
The
force
acting on an object due to the effects of its mass and
gravity
Calculating weight
Weight
(N) =
mass
(kg) x
g
(kg/N)
How to measure
weight
A
force meter
(
a
spring
balance
)
A
weighing
scale
, which
measures
weight
and
converts
it
into
mass
(
by
dividing
by
g)
