F = mg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The gravitational force is the product of the gravitational field strength and the mass.

The answer choices are poorly worded. As @ghuczek says, weight (which is a force) is calculated by F=mg, where m is the mass and g is the ACCELERATION due to gravity.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

weight=force of gravity=gravitational force=mass times acceleration due to gravity W=mg
