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.
