the formula to calculate mass, when only given weight is
M= W x G G is 9.80 or 9.81.
But if thats not what your looking for mass and weight don't really have a relationship.
Weight is the force of gravity that is being pushed down on you, meaning weight is not constant.
Mass however is constant, it is the amount of space a thing takes up.
Humans for example if you were to weight yourself on earth and then go to the moon, the weight on the moon would be much lighter, even tho your weight is lighter you do not loss any mass.

The relationship between mass and weight is that mass is times weight.

Mass is the amount of material in a body.
WEIGHT = MASS x Gravitational Acceleration
Since the earth is flattened at the poles gravitational attraction on the mass is greater therefore the WEIGHT will be more at the poles.
The same MASS on the moon will WEIGH about 1/6th that it does on earth as the gravitational attraction is less.

Weight is a force, mass is the amount of material in something.
Weight is mass times gravity. On earth, gravity is about 9.8 m/s^2.
You could go to anywhere at all (including to different planets that have different gravity) and the mass of an object would not change, but its weight would.
That's all I know.

Weight is the mass times the gravitational acceleration
W= M * G

Mass is applicable to any sold and will vary with its size and density.
Weight on the other hand is a measure of the mass when it is subject to the earth's pull i.e. gravity.
For example, a rock on the moon will have mass but little or no weight due to reduced gravitational pull. On the earth, it will be heavy due to the earth's gravitational pull. But the weight will depend on what kind of mass it it, hence the size and density.

Mass is what we commonly call weight.... its confusing, but its measured in kg. Weight is actually the mass x gravitational field strength (normally 9.81 or 10)
Physics. the quantity of matter as determined from its weight or from Newton's second law of motion. ---> that's the physics definition from dictionary.com

Always have vegetables on side. Saute a big bag of frozen mixed vegetables in essential olive oil and garlic. Add some red pepper or turmeric for additional flavor and also separate into portion-sized containers for the fridge.

Mass is volume x weight. In other words, weight is mass divided by volume.
