∙ 14y agoOnly if the two masses are at different distances from the planet's center, or on planets
with different masses.
If the two masses are at the same distance from the same third mass ... or just attracting
each other with any separation distance, then no.

∙ 14y agoMass and weight do not measure the same thng: weight depends on the force of gravity. It is not possible to convert from one to the other without information or assumptions about the force of gravity at the location where you weighed 162 pounds. If your mass is 162 pounds, then that is equivalent to 73.482 kg (to 3 dp).
The SI unit for measuring weight (the force due to gravity) is the newton.The SI unit for measuring mass is the kilogram.
Force or weight Force= mass X acceleration gravity is an acceleration (9.8m/s2) Weight = mass X acceleration due to gravity
-- The acceleration of gravity has units of [ meters/second2 ] .On or near the Earth's surface, it's about 9.8 of them.-- The force of gravity has units of [ Newtons ]. On or near theEarth's surface, it's about 9.8 of them per kilogram of mass.
No. Kilogram is a unit of mass only. Weight is measured in units of force; the SI unit for force is the Newton.
The force of gravity on 1 kilogram of mass on the Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 newtons.
The force of gravity on a 1 kilogram mass near the surface of the Earth is approximately 9.8 newtons. This is calculated using the formula F = m * g, where m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
If we have a force acting on a body and we know what that force is, and we also know that the force is gravity, we can solve because we know the force gravity exerts on a mass. If we take the total force acting on the body and divide it by the force of gravity per one unit of mass, we can find the number of units of mass that cause gravity to act on the object. We have 1033 Newtons of force acting on the object. Gravity pulls down with a force of 9.8 Newtons on 1 kilogram of mass. Our 1033 Newtons divided by 9.8 Newtons per kilogram = 105.41 kilograms

The force of gravity is not in kilogram; the kilogram is a unit of mass, not a unit of force.The force of gravity is equal to mass x gravity (the gravitational field); near Earth's surface, this gravitational field is approximately 9.8 newton per kilogram.
Here on Earth it is 9.8 Newtons per kilogram.
It depends on the force of gravity where the body is weighed.
On earth, a kilogram of mass weighs around 2.2 pounds. Mass does not change unlike weight, which is reliant on the force of gravity.
the weight of a body is the force exerted by gravity to the body and is proportional to the mass of the body. A force applied to a body will give him an acceleration. The relation between the force f applied to the body, its mass m and the acceleration a is given by Newton's second law of motion ; f = ma The acceleration given by gravity to bodies at sea level is referred to as the standard gravity acceleration and has the value of 9.81 m/s2 (rounded to 3 digits). So, if you have a body with mass 0.5 kg, the weight of it at sea level would be, 0.5 kg x 9.81 m/s2 = 4.9 newtons When a body is subject to the standard gravity acceleration a mass of one kilogram (mass kilogram) weights one kilogram (force kilogram). In the International Units System, the unit for mass is the kilogram and the unit of force is the newton. The force kilogram is avoided as to not produce confusion.
Kilogram is really a unit of mass, but here it seems to be taken as the equivalent force (i.e., the weight of a 1 kg mass at normal gravity). This somewhat informal unit is called "kilogram-force". In that case, force x distance gives you an energy unit.
