Weight of an object is directly proportional to its mass.
W=mg
Gravitational field strength (g) is the gravitational force acting per unit mass on an
object. (SI: N/kg). On the surface of Earth, the acceleration caused by gravity is 9.81
m/s2, approximately.
VOLUME. Measures the Space Occupied by a body. (SI: m3)

DENSITY. Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance. The equation for
m
determining density is
