What is the acceration due to gravity?

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s^2. This value represents the rate at which an object falls freely under the influence of gravity and is a constant value near the Earth's surface.


How convert mass to weight?

You convert mass to weight by multiplying by the local acceleration due to gravity ...f = ma... where f is the force in newtons, mass is the mass in kilograms and a is the acceleration in meters per second squared. For the Earth, a is 9.81, so a mass of 100 kg has a weight of 981 newtons.It is "common" though erroneous to say that the "weight" of the 100 kg object is 100 kg. It is precisely correct to say the weight is 981 newtons, on the Earth, but we generally accept the implicit conversion for G=9.81 in the statement that the weight is 100 kg, just not on a physics test.


What is acceleration due to gravity called?

Acceleration due to gravity means the force due to weight of an object which increases due to the gravitational pull of the earth.


What force that can change when acceleration due to gravity changes?

I suppose you are asking about what forces change when acceleration due to gravity changes. In this case, the formula for forces concerning acceleration due to gravity is as such: fg=mg. When acceleration due to gravity(g) changes, it affects the force of gravity which is also known as the weight of the object. This is shown as fg.


What is the torque due to gravity on the disk?

The torque due to gravity on the disk is the force of gravity multiplied by the distance from the center of the disk to where the force is applied.
