Answer:
Mass is a measure of how much matter an object contains, while weight is a measure of the force of gravity on the object.
The mass of an object is a measure of the object's inertial property, or the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it. The pull of gravity on the earth gives an object a downward acceleration of about 9.8 m/s2.
See … W=mg…
Weight or Force due to gravity is simply the mass (m) times acceleration due to gravity (g). F=mg.
If you use kg for mass and 9.81 m/s^2 for acceleration due to gravity on earth, your answer will be in Newton's. (60kg)(9.81m/s^2) = 588.6 N.
