Use the formula "w = m x g" to convert weight into mass. Weight is defined as the force of gravity on an object. Scientists put that sentence into an equation by writing w = m x g, or
w = mg.
Since weight is a force, scientists also write the equation as F = mg.
F = symbol for weight, measured in Newtons, N.
m = symbol for mass, measured in kilograms, or kg.
g = symbol for gravitational acceleration, expressed as m/s2, or meters per second squared.
If you're using meters, the gravitational acceleration at the earth's surface is 9.8 m/s2. This is the standard international unit, and the one you should probably be using.
If you're using feet because you have to, the gravitation acceleration is 32.2 f/s2. This is the same unit, it's just rearranged to reflect feet instead of meters.
