If the weight of a body is 10 gwt as measured by using a spring balance (on earth) then what will be its mass (in gram)?
Can you explain how you got that answer?
Sure! The unit of weight is the same as the unit of force, which is Newtons. But the unit of mass is different and is measured in grams or kilograms. In this case, gwt stands for grains weight, not grams weight. One grain is equal to 0.06479891 grams. Therefore, 10 gwt is equal to 0.6479891 grams. So, when we measure the weight of a body as 10 gwt using a spring balance, its mass is actually 0.6479891 grams.
