on the surface of Earth where

g=9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2

.2. Determine the mass of an object that weighs 500N on the surface of Earth where

g = 10m/s^2

DefinitionWeight is the force due to gravity on an object, while mass is the amount of matter in an object. If measured in SI units, mass in kilograms (kg) and weight in newtons (N). For instance: On Earth, any object with a mass of around 10 kg will have a weight of about 98 N (given that close to g≈9.8m/s2).
