Answer:

W = mg

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of Weight for given mass is


\large\boxed{\fcolorbox{blue}{yellow}{W = mg}}

where,

m = mass of the body

g = accelaration due to gravity

For Example:

Q.) A body has mass 10 kg then fine it's weight

A.)

m = 10kg

g = 10m/s²

.°. W = mg

= 10 × 10

W = 100N

Thus, The weight of a body from its mass can be calculated by W = mg.
