If you multiply an object's mass by the acceleration of gravity, g, you can determine its weight. If you know an object's weight and divide by g, you can determine its mass. g = 9.8 m/s2 or 32.2 ft/s2 (on Earth)

What force causes a difference in weight in air and water?

The force of buoyancy is responsible for the difference in weight between an object in air and water. In water, the upward force of buoyancy counteracts some of the object's weight, making it feel lighter. This is due to the water pushing against the object with an upward force equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object.

i am doing that same qusestion and i forgot my book to and its due tomorrow Gravity is the factor the makes the difference between weight and mass. Mass remains the same weither your on earth or in outer space or on the moon, but weight is different depending on the amount of gravity that is exerted on the object. If you weigh 200 lbs. on earth your would weigh 1/6th of that amount on the moon, so your weight depends on the amount of gravity.
