mass = weight ÷ gravity

Since the gravitational pull is relatively constant near the surface of the earth, you can weigh the object, then divide the weight by the gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/sec2 near the earth's surface).

Is a pound a measure of mass?

No, it is a measure of weight, there is a difference (Mass is mass, weight is the force exerted by your mass being pulled down by gravity)


How can you measure weight?

Weight is the term for the mass times the acceleration. To measure that, you multiply the mass times the acceleration

What metric units would be used to measure the mass of a your weight?

Mass and weight are two different things: you cannot measure the mass of your weight. That is like talking about the temperature of your height - it makes no sense.


Is Weight is the measure of force and mass?

Weight is a measure of the gravitational pull for a mass , such that a mass of 1 Kg is having a weight of 10 Newton . So weight is a downward force measured in Newtons . Weight ( in N ) = Mass ( in Kg ) × Gravity ( usually 10N/Kg )


Is mass a measure of force?

No Weight is a measurement of force... mass is not.


Can a balance scale measure mass?

No, it only can measure weight.


How does a spring balance measure the mass of an object?

A spring device can only measure an object's weight. In order to find its mass, you then have to either compare its weight with the weight of a known mass, or else use the value of gravitational acceleration to calculate the mass from the weight.


When standing on bathroom scale are you measure in mass or density?

Scales either measure mass, or weight - but they are callibrated to show mass (for example, kilograms).
