Question

the formula relating mass and weight is w=, where w is weight, m is mass, and g is gravitational field strength.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for weight

Weight is a force, and according to Newton's second law \(F = ma\). In the context of weight, the acceleration \(a\) is the gravitational field strength \(g\).

Step2: Write the formula

Substituting \(F\) with \(W\) (weight) and \(a\) with \(g\) in \(F=ma\), we get \(W = mg\).

Answer:

\(mg\)
