The weight of an object is given as the formula W=mg where W is the weight, m is the mass and g is the gravitational acceleration (or the gravity of planet). On earth, g is generalized as 10 N kg-1(about 9.8 N kg-1 to be more exact). On the moon, it is about 10/6 N kg-1. So, the weight of a 10kg mass on earth would be 100 N (N is Newton, the SI unit for weight) while the mass would be 16.7 N on the moon.

Is Weight is the measure of force and mass?
Weight is a measure of the gravitational pull for a mass , such that a mass of 1 Kg is having a weight of 10 Newton . So weight is a downward force measured in Newtons . Weight ( in N ) = Mass ( in Kg ) × Gravity ( usually 10N/Kg )
What times mass equals weight?
Mass (kg) x Gravitational Field Strength (Gravity) (N/kg) = Weight (N)GFS on earth = 10 N/kg
A 10 KG mass is lifted to a height of meters what is its weight?
To get the weight (in Newton), multiply the mass by Earth's gravitation - about 9.8, in SI units.
If a student had a mass of 195 kg what was his weight?
If a student had a mass of 195 kg, then his weight on earth was 1,911 newtons, or about 430 pounds.
Is mass and weight mesured in kg?
No. Mass is measured in kilograms. Weight is measured in Newtons.
