what does mass= weight times gravity or wieght divided by gravity?

Question

is it mass=weight times gravity or weight divided by gravity?

Answer 1

weight = mass * gravity

Answer 2

Take the following rules

1. Mass is remain unchange no matter where the thing is.
2. Weight is the dot product of Mass and Gravity
3. Weight is just a Force but is acting downwards

Hence, if Weight = Mass x Gravity, and in short you is just

W = mg.

Because Weight is just a Force that is acting downwards as describe in No. 3, then you will get.

F = W = mg;

hence

F = mg

So, if you arrange the formula, you will get

m = F / g

which is mass = weight divided by gravity

Answer 3

Mass is the same on the earth and on the moon. Weight is higher on earth with more gravity. The only way for mass to be constant and related to weight is mass = wt/g.

Also, turning the same idea around a bit, since mass is fixed for a given body and weight is a property under a "gravity", Wt = mg, and when "g" is for the earth, Wt is larger than when "g" is for the moon.

Answer 4

Mass just equals weight at a particular. gravity is what causes weight to be felt. Here on earth, mass really just means something's weight.

Answer 5

Mass just equals weight at a particular. gravity is what causes weight to be felt. Here on earth, mass really just means something's weight.

Answer 6

mass=weight * gravity

Answer 7

You're smarter than you give yourself credit for. Mass is constant for the same object, weight isn't (if you go to another planet).

On Jupiter, you weigh more.

Good?

Answer 8

mass = weight x gravitational acceleration....yo... http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/wteq.html
