Mass (m ) & Weight (W )
Weight (W)
The force exerted by gravity on mass of a body. It is equal to the product of mass
of the body and the acceleration due to gravity.
W = m (kg) * g (m/s2) (value of g varies place to place, Avg. Value of g: 9.81 m/s2)
SI Unit: Newton (N)
Mass (m)
It is quantity of matter contained in a body. The mass of a body remains constant
anywhere on the earth surface.
SI Unit: kilogram (kg)
Force (F )
It is a pull or push acting on a body
According to Newton’s second law of motion, force is directly proportional to the
rate of change of linear momentum of the body.
F = m (kg) * a (m/s2)
SI Unit: Newton (N)
Definition: One unit of force is that which produces an acceleration of 1 m/s2 in
a mass of 1 kg.
Pressure (P )
It is defined as the force applied over unit area of the boundary of the body.
Pressure (p) = F/ A = Force / Area (N/ 2)
SI Unit: Pascal (Pa) 1 kPa = 103 Pa; 1 MPa = 106 Pa; 1 GPa = 109 Pa
Standard atmospheric pressure: It is derived from the mercury column of 760 mm

Atmospheric Pressure : Pressure exerted by the atmosphere.
At a sea level, patm = 101.325 x 103 (N/m2 or Pa) = 1.01325 × 105 Pa = 1 atm [1 atm = 105 Pa ]
