Weight = (mass) x (local acceleration of gravity).
Mass = (weight) / (local acceleration of gravity)
If you know the weight and the local acceleration of gravity, you can calculate the mass.
Anywhere on or near the surface of the earth, the local acceleration of gravity is about 9.82 meters per second2 .
As an example, an object with a weight of 9.82 newtons has a mass of one kilogram.

Weight in Newtons Mass in kilograms
You multiply the mass by the gravity. Normal Earth gravity is about 9.8 (in meters/second2, or the equivalent newton/kilogram).
8kg is 78.46 Newtons on earth.
Weight = mass x gravity Weight = 50Kg x 9,8 m/s^2 = 490.0 Newtons
No. Mass is measured in kilograms. Weight is measured in Newtons.
