Answer 7

Got it ?

Answer 8

So if i say that ur mass is 50kg, then ur weight will be 50*9.8=490N [on earth]

Answer 9

ok.. got it.. thanks

Answer 10

for completeness of abhisar's explanation a body in space without gravity has mass because it's made by matter but it has no weight(since there is no gravity).
weight depend on the deal of attraction(gravity)
\[W=m \times g\]

Answer 11

The dimensions of mass are simply [Mass]

The dimensions of Weight are M times acceleration: [MLT^-2]
