I require to calculate acceleration of an object caused by a force of 100N acting upon it.
The weight of the object is 0.5kg
I'm using the equation
F = m * a
Is it correct to use weight of the object instead of mass in the equation.
Will it yield correct results?
Or would I need to calculate "mass" of the object first using the equation
m = W / g
where W is weight of the object and g is acceleration due to gravity.
