1 answer
The correct relationship between weight and mass is that weight is the product of the mass and the acceleration due to gravity. The formula for this relationship is given by:
\[ \text{Weight} = \text{Mass} \times g \]
where \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s² on the surface of the Earth).
