this time I got another question.. I think it's another way around..
"The weight of an object is 25kgf. What is it's mass if local gravity is 9.6m/s^2"
Tried this..
25/(9.6)(9.8)= 25.5kg
Weight is a measure of the force exerted on an object by gravity, while mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight can vary depending on the strength of gravity, while mass remains constant.
Mass and weight are directly proportional to each other. As the mass of an object increases, its weight also increases. This relationship is expressed by the formula weight = mass x gravitational acceleration.
Kilograms-force (kgf) is a unit of force commonly used in physics, and it is defined as the force exerted by gravity on a mass of 1 kilogram. This unit is often used to measure weight because it takes into account the strength of gravity.
The strength of gravity varies depending on the location on Earth. Objects will weigh more or less depending on the local gravity. For example, an object that weighs 25kgf on Earth would weigh less on the moon due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull.
To calculate the mass of an object, you can use the formula mass = weight / gravitational acceleration. In this case, the mass would be 25kgf / 9.6m/s^2 = 2.604 kg.
