How to calculate
Calculate mass from force and acceleration.
Mass = force/acceleration
Worked example
Force (N): 98.0665; Acceleration (m/s²): 9.80665.
Mass: 10 kg.
Assumptions and limits
Force and mass are different quantities. Near Earth, weight force depends on local gravitational acceleration.
Results are rounded for display; calculations use unrounded values. Read our calculation methodology.
