A 500g block of ice weighs approx. 4.905 Newtons as weight is the force due to gravitational acceleration acting on a mass.

F=mg

where:

  • F = force (Newtons)A
  • m = mass (kg)
  • g = gravitational acceleration (ms-2)B

A In this case the force is due to gravitational acceleration and is therefore weight.
B g is assumed to equal 9.81ms-2.
