Answer

The weight formula is Weight (W) = Mass (m) × Gravitational acceleration (g). On Earth, this is typically calculated as W = m × 9.8 m/s². Weight is measured in newtons (N) in the SI system, though in everyday use, we often express weight in kilograms or pounds. For example, a 70 kg person has a weight of approximately 686 newtons on Earth.
