    This document defines and compares mass, weight, and density. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is measured in kilograms. Weight is the gravitational force on an object and is measured in newtons. Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance. The document provides examples of how the weight of the same mass would be different on Earth, the Moon, and Mars due to their varying gravitational fields.

    Mass, weight, density


    Differentiate Between Mass, Weight and density
    MASS
    • Mass is the amount of substance in a Object
    • Mass is a scalar Quantity
    • SI unit is KG(Kilogram)
    • Mass cannot be changed
    • Mass is measured by beam balance

    WEIGHT
    • Weight is the gravitational pull of the earth
    • Weight is a vector Quantity
    • SI unit is N(Newton)
    • Weight changes due to the value of gravity
    • Weight is measured by spring balance
    • W=mg, Where [m] is mass and [g] is gravitational pull

    DENSITY
    • Density is defined as mass per unit volume.
    • Formula, Density=mass/volume
    • D=m/v or ρ=m/v

    How to find Weight by using its formula


    Let Assume,

    PLACES EARTH MOON MARS


    GRAVITATIONAL FEILD 9.8 1.6 3.6
    MASS 84kg 84kg 84kg
    W=mg W=mg W=mg
    CALCULATION =84*9.8 =84*1.6 =84*3.6
    =823.2N/M =134.4N/M 302.4N/M

    Since, The Mass of the body will be same because as it doesn’t have any effect of gravitational pull.
