The mass of an object is unvarying. It's weight varies according to the gravitational force on the object. Weight = mass x gravity For a mass of 100 gms, which is 0.1 kg then its weight at the Earth's surface would be 0.1 x 9.78 Kg = 0.978 Newtons Its weight on the Moon would be a lot less and its weight in outer space would be virtually nil.

A tricky question: Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object (such as 100g); weight, however, is the measure of the force of gravity on an object. So, weight depends on where you are. If you are here on earth, a 100g mass would weigh 100g. On the moon (with 1/6th the gravity of the earth), it would weigh 17g, on Jupiter, 1100g, and on the international space station, nothing. But no matter where it is, it has a mass of 100g.

The weight of 100 grams mass would be 0.1 kilograms on Earth, assuming standard Earth gravity.

Convert that to kilograms, then multiply the result by the strength of the gravitational field (about 9.8 in SI units). Answer will be in newton.
