Weight is the gravitational force exerted on any body having mass.

The relation between mass and weight can be given by


W=mg

Here, W is the weight, m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The value of g is constant on earth and is independent of the mass of the object.

Thus, to calculate the mass in kilograms, known weight can be used as


m=(W)/(g)
