What is the mass of a 540 -N weight?

Answer 1

weight = mass * g (acceleration due to gravity)

540N = m * 9.8 m/s^2

Solve for m, m = 540 / 9.8 = 55.10 kg

Answer 2

That's like asking how many feet are in a gallon. Mass (Kg) is fundamentally different from force (N). But they are related by F = ma where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

As asked, the question has no answer (unless you assume the a is one standard Earth gravity, 9.8 m/s²)

Hope that helps.
