MASS, WEIGHT & DENSITY
MASS & WEIGHT
Definition
SI Unit
Properties
Relationship
Mass
Weight
Measure of the amount of
Amount of gravitational
matter in a body
force acting on a body
Kilogram (kg)
Newton (N)
Mass has only magnitude,
Weight has both
and is constant
magnitude and direction
(unaffected by
(towards the centre of
gravitational field strength)
Earth)
Weight of an object is directly proportional to its mass.
W=mg
10 N/kg on Earth
1.6 N/kg on the Moon
DENSITY
Density is the mass per unit volume. This means that the density of any solid, liquid or gas
can be found by dividing its mass in kilograms by its volume in cubic metres.
m
Density can be found using the equation:
(SI: kg/m3)
V
VOLUME. Measures the Space Occupied by a body. (SI: m3)

Examples: Cube: V 3 Sphere: V R3 Cylinder: V R2h
