weught= mass*g
where g is gravitational field strength
g=weight/mass
Now it turns out, gravitational field strength in Newtons/kg IS EQUAL to the acceleration of a mass in that field, in meters/sec^2
so acceleration= weight/mass
where g is gravitational field strength
g=weight/mass
Now it turns out, gravitational field strength in Newtons/kg IS EQUAL to the acceleration of a mass in that field, in meters/sec^2
so acceleration= weight/mass
