DIFFERENCE

MASS

  • Mass is simply the measure of the amount of matter in a body.

  • Mass is always constant for a body and there are several formulas to calculate mass.

  • One way to calculate mass is:
  • Mass = volume × density

  • Mass only has magnitude and so, it is a scalar quantity.

  • The SI unit of mass is Kilogram (Kg).

WEIGHT

  • Weight is the measure of the amount of force acting on a mass due to acceleration due to gravity.

  • Weight is dependent on the gravity and so, it varies from place to place.

  • Weight can be calculated from the following formula:
  • Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

  • Weight has both magnitude and direction (towards the centre of gravity) and so, it is a vector quantity.

  • The SI unit of weight is Newton (N).
