Force equations
Calculate resultant force or weight in a gravitational field.
Resultant force
force = mass × acceleration
Force is measured in newtons (N), mass in kilograms (kg), and acceleration in m/s².
Weight
weight = mass × gravitational field strength
Weight is measured in newtons (N). Near Earth’s surface, gravitational field strength is about 9.8 N/kg.
