Best Answer

Weight is a force. It is described as the gravitational force acting on an object. It is measured in newtons.

If you are thinking of the mass (measured in kilograms for instance) then you multiply by the acceleration due to gravity.

Weight = g x mass.

How do you determine how much work is done?

First you have to find the force F=(mass/weight of object)*(9.8) Once you find force Work=(Force)*(Distance) Your answer will be in joules


How do you find force given weight and work?

You cannot. You do not have the necessary information.


How do you find the mass of an object given the weight and volume?

If you know the force of gravity then mass = weight/gravitational force. If you don't then you cannot. Knowing the volume is useless.


How do you write a sentence about gravity with force included?

The force of weight is the force of gravity on a celestial body. To find the force of weight you can multiply mass x acceleration. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2


How do you find the force?

That depends what information you know. One common formula is F=ma (force = mass x acceleration). Another formula is weight = mass x gravity (note that the weight is a force).

What metric unit can you use to find the weight of a pumpkin?

No metric unit will find the weight of the pumpkin for you. For that, you'll need some kind of a scale. However, once you've found the weight, you'll use a unit of force to describe it. The metric unit of force is the Newton. (NOT the kilogram.)


How are weight and force are related?

Weight depends on force. The amount of weight depends on the amount of force
