   How do you calculate a force based on weight?

   • Another important force was mentioned earlier in Chapter 2: weight is the force on an object due to the Earth's gravity. If the object is near the surface of the Earth, then its weight W W is given by W = mg (15.3.1) (15.3.1) W = m g where m m is the mass and g = 9.80 m/s2 g = 9.80 m / s 2 is the acceleration due to gravity.

   What is weight in physics?

   • What is Weight? Weight is the force generated by the gravitational attraction of the earth on the airplane. We are more familiar with weight than with the other forces acting on an airplane, because each of us have our own weight which we can measure every morning on the bathroom scale.

   Why is weight determined by gravity?

   • The first thing to understand is that the weight of something is determined by gravity. Or rather, the force that gravity has on an object. The more force that gravity pulls on an object with, the heavier that object is. What this means is that the mass of something is consistent.

   The unit of measurement for weight is that of force, which in the International System of Units (SI) is the newton. [1] . For example, an object with a mass of one kilogram has a weight of about 9.8 newtons on the surface of the Earth, and about one-sixth as much on the Moon.

   Oct 17, 2024 · Weight, gravitational force of attraction on an object, caused by the presence of a massive second object, such as the Earth or Moon. Weight is a consequence of the universal law of gravitation: any two objects, because of their masses, attract each other with a force that is directly proportional.

   Weight. Another important force was mentioned earlier in Chapter 2: weight is the force on an object due to the Earth's gravity. If the object is near the surface of the Earth, then its weight \(W\) is given by \[W=m g\] where \(m\) is the mass and \(g=9.80 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\) is the acceleration due to gravity.
